The opening of exhibition «Kise Belbeu» took place onlineas part of the “Exhibit of the Month” project on March 18, 2024.
Kazakh national clothing is distinguished by its color and diversity. Its samples have found a worthy place in ethnographic museums around the world, becoming an integral part of world culture. Kazakh national clothing reflects the aesthetic ideals of the people and their way of life. Hats, jewelry, men's chapans, women's camisoles with many ornaments - this is a small part of the heritage of the Kazakh ethnic group. A special place among them is occupied by the men's belt - kise belbeu.
One of the examples of jewelry art of the Kazakh people - kise belbeu, is presented today in our project. It is made of leather with insert notches of silver-plated metal, was made to order in Mongolia in the twentieth century and belonged to the father of a resident of Temirtau cityKagbat Zh.
Many traditions are a thing of the past, along with their bearers. By talking about objects of material culture that have lost their practical significance and become museum relics, we are returning our historical heritage.
