	The Karakalpak Yurt
		The Karakalpaks inherited the yurt from their Turkic ancestors — the essential characteristics of the collapsible trellis-walled felt yurt had already been fully developed before the Karakalpak confederation of tribes emerged in the 15th or 16th centuries somewhere in the vicinity of the lower Syr Darya.
		From a distance, Karakalpak yurts have a characteristic cone-shaped roof, whereas the roof of the Kazakh or Turkmen yurt is traditionally dome-shaped.
		When properly decorated, the Karakalpak yurt can be immediately identified from the white tent bands criss-crossing the roof, the shiy screen walls, the jolly pink and brown janbaw suspended like a garland on either side of the door, and the bold ram’s horn motifs on the weavings flanking each side of the door.
