Ok bash were decorative covers used by the nomadic tribes to cover the ends of the long wooden poles or struts, that were used in the construction of the family yurt. During the migration the poles were strapped to the sides of camels and these highly decorative bags covered the ends of the poles.
Ok bash are found in piled, felt and flat weave formats, this example from Kyrgyzstan is in felt, with the archaic design inlayed in darker coloured felt, the decorative tassels made of horse hair have then been applied.
