拍品专文

In 1737, the year this kovsh was presented to Ekim Petrov, the Russian government relocated a number of the Volga Cossacks to Astrakhan and formed a Cossack unit used for escorting couriers and correspondence as well as guard duty. Ekim Petrov was one of the first atamans of the Astrakhan Cossack Voisko.
