This is an AI restoration of a Seima-type wide-bladed bronze knife discovered at the Rostovka site in Omsk, Siberia, Russia. Its hilt features a iconic scene of a horse pulling a person on a sled.
In the 19th century, horse-drawn sleds were still widely used in Russia for winter freight transport. These operations primarily relied on frozen riverways to minimize friction and resistance。
After everyone had left, I sat alone in my study.
My thoughts had no end.
My mother was gone.
She had closed her eyes forever.
She departed carrying countless hopes, dreams, and regrets—her own, and those she had entrusted to me.
She left the land she loved so deeply.
She left the home where she had endlessly waited for her son to return.
As for me, I can only stand on the other side of the globe, separated from her by vast oceans, and bid her farewell from afar.
