Abstract

Syrmaq is a traditional item of the Kazakh people, made from felt, used for decorative and household purposes. It is primarily laid on the floor, providing warmth and beauty to the interior of the home. The main feature of syrmaq lies in its patterns and the method of its creation. Each pattern reflects the worldview, attitude toward nature, and customs of the people. This item, adapted to the nomadic lifestyle, showcases the aesthetic taste and spiritual values of the Kazakh people. The types of syrmaq vary depending on the method of its creation and its patterns.
