The cushion wood consists

Mangistau Regional Museum of History and Local Lore named after A. Kekilbayev

The cushion wood consists of two side parts, a base, and a front section. At the edges of each part, there are eight-sided corner pieces that connect them to the two leg sections. The base part of the cushion wood is positioned at an angle, which is why the two side parts are adorned with ram’s horn patterns. At the exact triangular point of the front section, a star is depicted within a circle. Only the outer side of the side parts is patterned, while the inner edge is painted with a maroon stripe and the interior is painted green. The relief part of the corner in the vertical corner piece is chipped and broken. The “Irekse” pattern is located on the edges of the patterns on the cushion wood and on the belts of the corner edges. The time period is the 20th century.
