This beautiful black painted script on red is Genghis Khan's name (pronounced Chingis) written in Mongolian. I have learned so much about Mongolian culture since this exhibit opened. The decor of this ger, a traditional Mongolian dwelling often called a yert, inspired the decoration of my bedroom.
In the 12th & 13th centuries, Shamanism was the major spiritual practice of Mongolia.
