The plot is borrowed from the traditional life of nomads. A horsewoman in a national costume, with an elaborate hairstyle, rides to the groom. The girl is clearly pleased with her dowry: a chest on the horse's rump, a beloved dog and a stringed instrument indicate high birth and education. The pose and gesture, resembling a "lotus stalk", convey beauty, youth and lyricism of character.
The horse, like a faithful friend, looks like a mistress — it dances on the move, raises its head to the sky. The grace and choreographic plasticity of the figures immerse the viewer in the world of nomads, allowing them to admire the beauty of their rituals through modern artistic language.
