Buzkashi

Buzkashi

The unused old postcard makes this look like the name of a city, but no, it is (or was) a national sport.  Wikipedia tells us:  “Buzkashi (literally “goat grabbing” in Persian), also known as kokpar, kupkari and ulak tartysh, is the Central Asian sport in which horse-mounted players attempt to place a goat or calf carcass in a goal. It is the national sport of Afghanistan, although it was banned under the Taliban regime.”  Perhaps it will be banned again.  The card is age-mottled.  Grade: 2
