This image shows the interior of a yurt in Kegeti, Kyrgyzstan
MomentThis image shows the interior of a yurt in Kegeti, Kyrgyzstan. The perspective is looking upwards towards the circular opening at the top of the yurt, known as the 'tunduk'. The frame of the yurt is constructed from numerous wooden poles radiating outwards and upwards, creating a radial pattern. These poles are bound by rope and fabric elements, with decorative tassels hanging from some points. The interior walls are covered with textiles, featuring geometric patterns in black and white. The 'tunduk' is open to the sky, allowing natural light to enter, and reveals a secondary wooden frame structure supporting the opening. The overall impression is of a traditional nomadic dwelling, highlighting the structural elements and decorative details of the yurt.
