Information about one of the most interesting types of the Kazakh applied arts- making of kurak (patchwork) items- is what readers can find in this book. The author, both from the scientific and popular points of view, undertakes the analysis of sources, genesis, artistic identity and the role of patchwork items in the objective-spatial environment and ritual practices of the Kazakhs. The book is illustrated with the samples taken from the collections kept in museums of Kazakhstan, with the data collected during the field research work, and with the works by contemporary artists.
