Shyrdak felt rugs - L'Aviva felt art, known as shyrdak, is an age-old tradition of the nomadic kyrgyz people. Part mosaic, part quilt, the interlocking patterns and distinctive borders of Shyrdak combine to create a rich tapestry. The designs incorporate images of sacred myths and symbols, with colors reflecting the balance in nature and the cyclical rhythm of the nomad's world.
