This display presents artefacts found during excavations
of 13th-century Mongolian towns and settlements. The display-cases
contain credentials, utensils, agricultural implements, arms and armour.
The helmet decorated with plant ornament was typical headgear of a
Mongolian warrior of the 13th and 14th centuries. The 13th-century
silver bowl with a spout is the work of Mongolian craftsmen. The fragments
of architecture and glazed ceramics come from the palace of one of
the descendants of Genghis Khan located at the Kondui site in south-eastern
Siberia. A masterpiece of the display is the earliest Mongolian written
artefact - the Genghis Stone. |
