"Next morning, I look eagerly at this new world 11,000 feet above the sea. On a sloping glade of short grass six yurts are grouped together. Women milk the mares and tease the mute of the camp who stares at us with mouth agape."

Wool Felt Making, Kyrgyzstan, Ella Maillart, 1932

Framed by the Tian Shan mountains, a Kyrgyz woman stands by a traditional yurt, a highly versatile, portable structure engineered from a wooden lattice frame covered in thick sheep's wool felt. A samovar and other utensils are placed nearby on the ground.

In the background on the right, a group of women are gathered closely on the ground, rolling and pressing wool fibres to create the felt sheets (kiyiz) used to insulate these structures against Central Asia's harsh weather.

'Baking Flatbreads And
Tokochis In A Tandoor', Ella Maillart, Kyrgyzstan, 1932

A Kyrghyz woman seated cross-legged on the floor, wearing traditional headwear and everyday garments, carefully apportions and shapes dough pieces for traditional round flatbreads (tokoč/tokochi).

This traditional Central Asian flatbread is a regional variant of naan common across Kyrgyzstan and the wider Silk Road region.

In the foreground is the opening to a sunken hearth or clay oven (tonir/tandir/tandyr/tandoor) with several rounds of already baked circular breads stacked on a cloth nearby and inside the rim.
