Divine garments and beastly bodies


This is a common saying in Mongolia. The traditional “deel” and other clothing have been created to be compatible with the climate and lifestyle of nomads. Mongolian traditional costume consists of a hat, deel (a body-length, often wool garment), “uuj” (a long, sleeveless vest worn by women over the deel), coat, vest, underwear, and boots. They have great respect towards these traditional clothing as well. For example, hats and belts worn by men are to be placed respectfully in the honored place of a home.
Though these items can be extremely beautiful, often in matching colors for husband and wife, they have several functions: to keep nomads warm in the harsh winters, to be comfortable while horse riding, and cool in hot summers.


A godly wisdom

Mongolians admire blacksmiths’ skills and often praise them with famous saying, “Blacksmiths have godly wisdom.”
Blacksmiths craftsmanship reflects Mongolian symbolism, customs, and mindset in their work, with various shapes and patterns. The work of Mongolian blacksmiths is unique in the sense that only one piece of an item is made.
