"A game of buzkashi about to begin in Kyrgyzstan; buzkashi is a traditional interdependent team sport played in Central Asia. It has been described as "like rugby, but with a goat carcass and horses", which seems to be fairly accurate. The markings are perhaps another example of a playing field as an exportation of an abstract or mythical landscape."
