Wild goats are animals of mountain habitats. They are known as very agile, able to climb bare rocks and survive in sparse vegetation enviornment. Goats are considered wise and intelligent animals with well developed senses. It is assumed that goats were among the first animals domesticated by man. The motif of the goat on gusle instrument is a symbol of the pastoral way of life.
Engraving initials adds personal touch to gusle. This option is particularly suitable when it comes to a gift.
The monument to the heroes of the Battle of Mojkovac was erected in Mojkovac in 1966 in honor of the 50th anniversary of the battle. The monument represents artistic achievement of sculptor Drago Đurović and architect Mirko Đukić. On Christmas Day 1916, the Montenegrin army defeated stronger Austro-Hungarian army. The heroes of Mojkovac became a symbol of suffering and heroism.
Janko Vukotić (1866-1927) commanded the Army of the Kingdom of Montenegro. He is best known for victory in the Battle of Mojkovac, when Montenegrins forced a numerically superior foe to retreat and Austro-Hungarian offensive was successfully stopped. At the beginning of the First World War, he was the head of the Montenegrin Supreme Command, then the commander of the Herzegovina detachment and the Sandžak army.
On these gusle there is a free space for a personal message or inscription of the buyers' choice.
