Throughout the
history Kyrgyz people have had many artisans especially craftsmen
that are famous for creating a unique material made of felt. Felt is
also used to make national carpets,
which are called shyrdaks. Shyrdak is one of the main every day
attributes of the Kyrgyz household. Its use is universal: such
carpet can be spread out both in the yurt and just on the grass. It
is a very colorful handicraft with laconic color contrasts. The
ornament is notable for large patterns. Also there is not less
popular work of folk craft-colored thick felt Ala-Kiyiz. It is
motley and very close to the Ala-Too Mountains – many-colored
mountains.
In Kyrgyzstan there are a lot of places where you can buy different
national souvenirs.
Nomad’s Land Company works with many national shops and centers
including the Association of Women in Kochkor village that produces
different national souvenirs.
We
would be very happy to help you to buy not only these Kyrgyz
souvenirs but also national clothes, books and CDs about Kyrgyzstan
and maps.
