Abstract

In the past, the Kalmyks sewed pillows called tuntg. Decorated on both sides with ornaments called turun zeg as Maya shows, the tuntg was used to keep clothes, be it old or those worn during celebrations. Maya also shows other ornaments, including one called beezhin khotn used on women’s dress, one with floral motives, and two that are attached to sleeves.
