holding a lasso in his right hand, who is an integral part of the socialist
society, as fearless. The statue of a man staring into the distance with his
left leg placed forward and his right hand holding a lasso half raised in
preparation to throw the lasso depicts a moment in the life of a herder.
The sculpture is one of the largest artworks in the collection of Mongolian
National Art Gallery.
