Kurt
Kurt is a traditional delicacy originating from the nomadic peoples of Central Asia, known for its rich flavor and unique texture. This enduring dish has been a staple in Kazakh cuisine since ancient times, renowned for its ability to sustain without spoiling even in extreme temperatures. However, if you transport kurt to distant or warm locations without proper storage, its quality may be compromised.

Whip

From time immemorial, a whip is a mandatory equipment of a nomad's house, a sign of power and wealth. The whip was handed down from father to son as an inheritance. That is why it was hung on the rafters in the men's part of the yurt. According to beliefs, the whip protects against evil and demons. A whip made of leather will be very beautiful, and will keep its original shape for many years.

Felt clothes and souvenirs

There are types of pure felt made of 100% natural sheep's wool and artificially refined yarn. Felt waistcoats and sweaters protect against cold and have a positive effect on health. Modern Kazakh craftsmen make various decorative items from felt.

Dombra and shangkobyz

If you want to give a piece of Kazakh art inspired by the Great Plains, pay attention to our national instruments.

Shangkobyz is an ancient Kazakh national instrument. It is small and very delicate.

And when we say that the most popular national instrument in the country is the dombra, we are not wrong!

"Real Kazakh is not Kazakh, real Kazakh is dombra!" Turn one of the two ends hard, and the other a little less," said my grandfather, a dombra, which is especially revered by our people. Today you can not only listen to the sound of the dombra, but you can also put this melodious memory in small souvenirs and share it with your loved ones.
