Description: Present publication is the third volume
in a series devoted to the folk arts and crafts of the Central Asian
communities. It reflects the history of development and the current state of
the traditional artisanship in Kyrgyzstan. Publication consists of two parts.
The first part is focused on the pieces of ancient and medieval art left by the
population that occupied the territory of Kyrgyzstan since the Bronze Age.
These are the splendid samples of ancient jewellery, made of bronze, gold,
ivory, often with intrusions of jewels and precious stones. There are also
arms, pottery, cult items and different utensils. The visual components of
these artefacts were particularly diverse. The second part of the publication
focuses on the folk art and crafts of Kyrgyzstan, including the unique
architectural form of yurt.
