Kazakh - Mongolia
Meruert, Kazakh | Sagsai, Bayan-lgii province | Mongolia, 2017
Traditional Kazakh clothing is well adapted to their semi-nomadic lifestyle and the extreme conditions. Most items are made of hide, fur or felt and are decorated with jewellery and objects such as animal horns or bones. When a Kazakh hunts and kills an animal, every part of it is used and treated with respect. Eagle hunters often wear eagle feathers around their hats to show their status as a hunter.
