Day 13

Only 2 more appeal days to go! Actually, Day 14 has already started in Kaz so I am almost there!! Since I had some requests for more photos of souvenirs including some yurts, here you go-
Stacking yurts -these nest together one inside the other.
This hanging is very beautiful in person. It is leather carved and dyed to represent a yurt and horse outside the yurt- 2 of the most typical Kaz traditional items(horses and yurts).
These are 2 wall hangings made of a wool/felt showing camels and yurts.
This yurts is about 10 " tall and shows a family having a meal inside.
This yurt show the couple in tradtional dress inside their yurt. Another yurt. This one is a material similar to a stiff felt.
This one is NOT a yurt! It is a box made from leather and carved decoration from a birch tree layered on top. I do have a few more items but since I got most of them as gifts for people I will not post them so they are still surprises when you get them.
Only 2 days to go!!!
