The Ger - Mongolian National House
The Mongolian Ger is ideally suited to the country's extremes of climate and the people's nomadic way of life. It is a multipurpose dwelling that can be easily collapsed, transported to another place and put up again fully preserving its original shape. Being constantly on the move with herds of animals or being on military campaigns compelled Mongols to build gers on carts. Old books contain pictures of such gers, temporary abodes in which families of three or four could spend the night or find shelter.
After some time the use of carts stopped because they were clumsy and the gers could not be hauled over long distances as there was the danger of getting stuck in the mud somewhere or tipping over.

Arts and Craft
Since the ancient past, this territory had been inhabited by different tribes and people, superceding, and assimilating with each other, and, at times, disappearing forever. But the arts and crafts and their trade have been passed down from one generation to another, leaving behind deep impressions of their lifestyles, aesthetics and philosophy.
Mongolists hold the view that the second half of the second millennium B.C. was for Mongolia a period of highly developed smelting during which appeared the CARA-SUKSKY style in arts, appertaining to the late Bronze Age. This is evidenced by the sculptured heads of wild animals with long ears, huge eyes, giant horns on bronze knives, daggers and other objects. The CARA-SUKSKY bronze style spread from Mongolia and the Ordos into China and southern Siberia.
An early form of religion of all Paleo-Asian tribes was Shamanism, the worshipping of the spirit of nature. Ancient peoples had their own tribal totems, and they reverred and offered prayers to them. They carved out of wood different Shamanisms objects in the form of beasts, birds and animals, which can be regarded as authentic works of carving, applique and ornamentation in special rhythm and composition.
