What is a Shyrdak?
A shyrdak is a Kyrgyz felt carpet, one of the oldest and, when it comes to felt products, one of the most complex in its technique. Felt art is an integral part of Kyrgyz handicrafts. It would appear to carry with it the entire life story of the Kyrgyz peoples. Each pattern is laden with the surrounding world, and the color schemes and techniques speak of the life and philosophy of the area in which it was made. After all, each region of Kyrgyzstan has its own unique character.
Since ancient times, and even now, shyrdak is included in the dowry of the bride. Each mother tries to make a special shyrdak for her daughter, carefully choosing patterns and ornaments, as it is through them that she conveys all her innermost desires and blessings. It is a labor of love. It takes about one year to complete the time-consuming, labor-intensive process, and requires the wool of five sheep.
The influence of globalization has led to a decrease in demand for shyrdak in Kyrgyzstan, and up until recently this craft was in danger of extinction as people stopped using shyrdak rugs altogether. In order to preserve the tradition and skills, the ornamented felt ala kiyiz and shyrdak rugs were included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List in December 2012 as an endangered type of carpet art.

Now, expert Kyrgyz craftsmen and women can continue to pass on their skills and traditional patterns from generation to generation. When you purchase a shyrdak from Kyrgyz Handmade, you can be confident that they are made in exactly the same way as they were centuries ago.
