| Description | Dees is a rope twisted in the shape of an "S" or "Z." This rope is made from the wool and tail hairs of large livestock animals. Dees is used for making ropes that are interlaced or attached to one other. The interlacing is classified as single, double, black, variegated, and so on. Various types of interlacing, such as khoshlon (doubling), guramsan (thrice- doubling), and doromson (fourth-doubling), serve both artistic and practical functions. Mongolians have even invented a mechanic spinner for interlacing. The traditional art of creating images with dyed wool has almost been forgotten, but luckily this tradition has been rejuvenated by several contemporary artists. |
