It is a traditional Mongol craft that involves the participation of a whole household or group, with the men carving the wood and both the women and men sewing, stitching, and felting.
In the Mongol Ger, craftsmanship is a traditional enterprise, with both men and women carving the wood and both working on sewing, stitching, and felt-making. Wood frames include the crown, roof poles, wall lattices, door, and two pillars, and are made by separate carpenters, specializing in each.
Another word derived from the root of Ger is gerlekh, which implies "to make a home", but also describes the act of marrying.
This simple shelter is made of walls, poles, and a peaked roof covered with felt and canvas, and its walls are tied together with ropes. Gers are light enough for nomads to carry, flexible enough to fold and pack, and sturdy enough to disassemble and reassemble.
Gers can withstand Mongolian spring winds. The same structure is used all over the country with a wooden frame painted and decorated with traditional ornamentation, white felt, canvas, rope, flooring, and carpets woven from hand-sewn felt and furniture.
The younger generation of artisans is taught traditional craftsmanship, principally through mentoring by a senior craftsperson. Family members will always dismantle and re-assemble the Ger, and children will learn by watching their elders.
Traditionally, the Mongol ger reflects the nomadic culture, national identity, and identity. The Mongol ger tradition is passed down through the generations, principally through mentoring by senior craftspeople. Dismantling and reassembling the ger are always family activities, and children are taught to do so by their elders.
As of today, approximately 65 percent of Mongolians live in gers, and 60 percent of those in urban areas also live in gers. The traditional craftsmanship of the ger creates a living source for relevant artists as well as communities and families. This is a condition for communities to continue preserving their heritage, and the meanings and contents of the inheritance must remain intact.
As the result of the work of these artisans, the Mongolian ger is created, developed, and inherited as an integral part of the inherited values and cultural heritage from ancient times. It engages people in the enjoyment of their work and motivates them to constantly seek out ideas to make future creations by utilizing the fantastic craftsmanship of the ger.
By preparing and practicing the traditional craftsmanship of the ger, the community can realize their collective identity, and their existence, and appreciate the diversity and creativity of culture.
