This hall is used to display decorative and applied art created by local craftspeople, and also imported goods that tell about trade with neighbouring states.
We can get an idea of the close ties with European colonies on the shores of the Black Sea from one of best collections in Europe of European glassware from the 13th–15th centuries and Italian textiles (in the showcase by the arch).
The display here also includes items of military equipment and daily use from the Belorechensk burial ground (the showcase by the right-hand window). Particularly noteworthy among them are a bronze mirror decorated with a scene of a royal hunt (Asia Minor or the Golden Horde, 13th c.) and a sabre inlaid with silver that carries tamga-like devices (a tamga was a clan badge).
Gold and silver articles, elements of horse harness and coins can be seen in the showcase opposite the window. They are indicative of the ties between the Golden Horde and Asia Minor. Among the masterpieces in this section is a belt set made up of gold plaques that comes from a burial mound near the Cossack settlement of Belorechensk in the northern Caucasus.
The display is completed by gravestones and the capital from a column that once adorned the building of the madrasah in Solkhat.
