/MONTSAME/. The National Museum of
Mongolia will present a special exhibition, “Mongolian Traditional Housecraft
and Culture,” from the 5th of this month in collaboration with the “Tsonjin
Boldog” Chinggis Khan Statue Complex, a tourist center visited by many domestic
and foreign tourists.
In the exhibition, 308 exhibits from 145
subsequences, including nomadic husbandry items, dish, and utensil-related
items, and 8 copies of portraits of kings and queens of the Mongolian Empire
stored in the National Palace Museum of Taiwan, will be displayed.
Because of the significant role and
importance of horses in classical nomadic animal husbandry, Mongolians have
respected horses considerably. In the exhibition, the horse culture of
Mongolians is represented by khalkh and bayad national saddles, then silver
bridles, halters, thongs, horse comb, stamps, pedals with various designs,
children’s saddles, as well as tethering places for the horse, skin bag for
kumiss, kumiss piston, and fiddle music that indicates the complex belief of
worshiping horses.
In addition to horses, exciting exhibits
such as ox and camel yokes, saddles, saddle cushions, teeth ridge, camel
halter, livestock wood carvings, chess, and board games will be displayed.
Also, a part of the exhibition is occupied by Mongolian hearth pots, teapots,
and salvers made of roots, cups, and holy-water sprinkles. In particular, the
collection made it possible to see and compare the different types of teapots
in one place.
The
