A traditional Kazakh carpet product. The wall-mounted embroidered carpet occupied a place of honor in the yurt and served as an amulet carpet. Therefore, the tanned skin of a fox, wolf or kamcha was often hung on the wall with it, which, according to popular belief, were supposed to protect a person’s home from the evil eye and spoilage.
The carpet is made of felt and consists of a central field with various colored flowers and leaves, framed by two wide rectangular ornamented borders on four sides.
