Khan Shyrdak

The "Khan" shyrdak embodies the power of the nomadic people.

This power is conveyed not only through the name of the shyrdak, but also through its patterns and colors. The blue colour depicts the sky, water and freedom and the "Muyuz" (horn) - designs indicate the majesty of the owner of the shyrdak. 

The edges of the "Han" shyrdak are decorated with triangular geometric pattern. In Turkic cultures, triangles and their their images are still used as talismans.

HOW SHOULD YOU CARE FOR A SHYRDAK?

Proper care prolongs the life of your Shyrdak:

• Use a sponge and soapy water to remove stains, and an iron or sunlight to dry your Shyrdak.

• Vacuum clean on a low setting without using a brush attachment.

• Shake the rug outside and beat it with a stick or a carpet beater.

• Expose to direct sunlight outdoors for 3 hours twice a year.

• When storing, make sure to use anti-moth spray and keep the storage room dry.

Shyrdak is listed on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding.
