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.
