Quite some time ago you posted a bottle showing a rider on running horse with bow and arrow.  Not sure if you ever identified the theme, and maybe a long shot, but thought of it when I found this mural. Can not find the bottle, and just curious if this looks similar.

George,

This looks like a depiction of a Manchu contest to show off skills in shooting at a target from a galloping horse. The Mongolians still hold such competitions during their festivals.

Yes, am just curious if Steven ever figured out the theme for a bottle he shared that this mural reminded me of..

Hi George,

I can't recall which theme you were referring to. There are a group of similar themes for the Bow and arrows. Some are the hunting festive.

I agree with Tom on this one, its more like a shooting competition during the festive, since it got the target at the theme.
