30S: Buzkashi

Just one of the items featured in the silent auction...

Painted by LA student artist Mukhtar Amiry ’15, this 67" X 54" original oil painting depicts the game of Buzkashi, a Central Asian sport played in Mukhtar’s home country of Afghanistan.

Buzkashi is often compared to polo. Both games are played between people on horseback and both involve propelling an object toward a goal. But, unlike polo which is played with a ball, Buzkashi is played with the carcass of a headless goat. Polo matches are played for fixed periods totaling about an hour; traditional Buzkashi can continue for days.

Buzkashi is the national sport and a “passion” in Afghanistan. It is often played on Fridays and matches draw thousands of fans.
