Folio Wall Art - The Dariganga woman’s winter cap - National Costumes of the M.P.R. by U Yadamsuren 1967

Original Folio Coloured Plate  Size 34cm x 25cm.

The Dariganga woman’s winter cap is a traditional Mongolian hat worn by women from the Dariganga ethnic group, primarily found in southeastern Mongolia. This cap is designed to provide warmth in the harsh Mongolian winters while also showcasing the region’s unique cultural identity.  This cap is a symbol of beauty and status among Dariganga women and continues to be an important part of Mongolian heritage.

The gold paint used in the illustration adds a luminous, almost three-dimensional quality to the image. It is a form of metallic pigment or gold leaf applied to highlight specific elements, such as embroidery, jewellery, or the embellishments on clothing and headpieces. This technique enhances the sense of opulence and reflects the historical use of gold and gilded decorations in Mongolian aristocratic and ceremonial dress.

Yadamsuren, a well-known Mongolian artist and ethnographer whose work captures the aesthetic and cultural significance of garments like the tortsog, ensuring that these traditions are remembered and appreciated.

The national dress of the Mongols has a rich history and an artistic tradition of many centuries.
