Rams fight

Painting by Metin Sharifov

In Azerbaijan ram fights were a part of traditions from ancient times. Rams carried a symbolic meaning, that’s why graves of soldiers and commanders were decorated with sculptures of rams.

This painting represents a ram fight in front of the ancient double gate of Old City (Baku).

My goal is to promote the art of Azerbaijan and improve my experiences.
