The value of the exhibits is that the painting in the caves of Shulgan-Tash is one of the first examples of rock art discovered outside the Franco-Spanish region. The sculptures themselves are quite large. The overall area of the images is over 50 sq.m! For the convenience of delivery, the panel called ‘Horses and Signs’ was cut into two parts, while the ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ were divided into 6-7 fragments. Such fragmentation was assumed initially, so restorers from France took each detail into account.
TRASKO also took all possible nuances into account. Our company was directly involved in the transportation of this amazing cargo. The overall weight of the rock panel together with the racks and safety parts was about 4 tons. The cargo was put into the curtain-sided truck because the side loading was required. Carefully packed on shelves securely fixed to the floor, the panels and additional fragments of the rock art were sent from Montignac (south-western France) to the Murat-Tugai near the village of Gadelgareevo (Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia).
In addition to transportation, TRASKO team carried out insurance and registration of the export declaration in Europe. We issued the declaration in Poland. During the transportation, we constantly checked the plans and kept the client informed of the current dislocation of his cargo. We have passed Poland border in one day. Overall the cargo covered a distance of almost 5,000 km in 13 days and was successfully delivered to the customer in accordance with the agreed terms. We are sure that the new rock panels will become the pearl in the collection of Shulgan-Tash historical and cultural museum! The panels will be placed in the largest area of the exhibition — the hall called ‘Rock Art’.
