Original Mongolian Artifacts
The most popular product with tourists is the high quality cashmere made in Mongolia. You can buy from the factory shops, the department store and at museum shops.

Traditional hats, clothes, boots (felt or leather with patterned leather appliqué and stitching), snuff bottles and their embroidered pouches and games using sheep's anklebones “shagai” can also be bought from the Department Store.

Jewelry and silver work in particular, are very fine and you can buy traditional designs at the State Jewelry Store.

Traditional Mongolian art is very evocative of its unique culture and you can buy various sizes of paintings on paper, canvas or wood as well as Buddhist Tankas on silk. Buy from museum shops, large hotel shops and art shops.

For Buddhist paraphernalia visit Gandan Monastery and the shops there.
