The yurt bag is made from a front embroidered with a design of interconnecting diamonds, squares and triangles, with a wave pattern between the main motifs. The panel has a band of horned diamond patterns around the outer edge. The sides of the bag are made from dark red velvet, while the back is made up of several pieces of striped cloth.
This type of bag was a major element in the furnishings of a yurt and was used to contain specific items when the yurt was being moved from one location to another. Inside the yurt such a bag had a position of honour.
