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.
