The national dress, worn both by men and women, is a form-fitting robe known as a deel. The deel was often woven out of silk frequently imported from China. During festivals or celebrations, women wore a variety of headdresses, including the traditional elaborate boghtagh. Elite women often had exquisite jewelry, which constituted a considerable quantity of the family's wealth. Small but valuable items such as jewelry were ideal means of preserving wealth, as they could readily be carried during the Mongols' frequent migrations.
