Shyrdak is a traditional textile from Central Asia, Kazakhstan in this case. Wool is harvested from local sheep and felted by hand, an extensive process traditionally dominated by women. Made in their homes, these rugs provided women with an income while balancing domestic responsibilities.
Contrasting wools are used with a subtle blue border. The women artisans impart well wishes into each piece as Shyrdak are traditionally given as wedding gifts. Inlaid swirling motifs are symbolic, the "suu-water" design is meant to ward of negative spirits. What better to place at the entrance of your home?
