"Daden van Buth, een Tataarse jongeman," (1727) by Bernard Picart is an etching that depicts the life and death of a young Tatar man named Buth, who was a warrior and devotee of the deity Manipa. The two scenes depict Buth’s final confrontation with his enemies, followed by his death and the offering of his soul to Manipa. The image is significant for its portrayal of religious practices, the way of life, and beliefs of the Tatars during the 18th century.
