Description of the artwork «Annibi flower»

The sixth in the series "Images of Tartary"

On some medieval maps of Asia and Tartaria, in the northeastern part of the continent, the Anabar Plateau is now located there, the Annibi land is located there.

I heard one legend that in ancient times one glorious people lived there, which later disappeared.
There was among the people, one queen who, violating the mandate of the god Ramha, planted a flowering tree on one of the sacred mountains. On those mountains, on the other hand, it didn’t grow anything other than stone, and that’s why she planted a flower tree.
The tree has bloomed. However, an ancient legend stated that a great punishment awaits the one who plants a flower on the sacred mountains ...
And then people and cattle began to disappear there first, and then horrible monsters appeared among the people, who at first ran away to the mountains, and then, after some time, they came in even more terrible form from the heights, smashing all human settlements and eating people ...
There was a long war with them, but nothing helped, and then people decided to leave these lands, but they could not do it, because they were surrounded by a mountain range.
And at that moment the queen took all the available types of flower seeds, and went up the mountain alone, ordering not to follow her.
Since then, no one else has seen either the queen or the monsters, only their stone figures ...
