About the ornaments on the Nogai wedding yurt-from the article by A.V. Durmenova “Ancient pictorial subjects of the Steppe population in traditional felt products of the Nogais” (2008):
“The covering and furnishings of the Nogai wedding yurt are made of felt - “kiyiz” in the Xiongnu tradition of felting. The latter is characterized by the use of a multi-layer base and applique decor in combination with outlining and quilting. The technology is recorded in monuments of the turn of the eras and was presumably developed by the Xiongnu - nomadic inhabitants of Mongolia who appeared in the north and west of Central Asia in the 4th century BC. <...> The heirs of the latter [Xiongnu culture] were the Mongols, Kazakhs, Tuvans, Kalmyks, and also the Nogais, which is confirmed, as we will see, by the commonality of multiple ornamental images.
Complex ornamental patterns of the yurt felt designs are constructed from a limited number of initial figures. Thus, the border ribbon-like ornament is composed of S-shaped figures, circles, meanders and stripes made up of triangles. The main motif of the ornament is the so-called "Turkic palmette" or "cross-shaped rosette", which is a rhombus or square with a cross inscribed in it with pairs of horn-shaped curls at the ends. The use of the horn motif in the ornament is traditional for steppe cattle breeders. This is consistent with the ancient cult of the "cosmic ram", but also, according to the Nogai beliefs, bestows wealth: "the more curls of the horn, the more flocks the craftswoman <of the pattern> wishes for the owner"; power: "whoever has more rams is right" (Nogai proverb) and offspring."

The Nogais are a Turkic-speaking people mainly living in the Stavropol Territory, Dagestan, as well as in Karachay-Cherkessia, in Chechnya.
In the Nogai family, they tried to cultivate gentleness and modesty in the girls, in the boys - courage, agility, and strength. Both were passed on knowledge of the norms of behavior in the family and society.
The word “Namys” is the moral credo of the Nogais. This concept is very capacious, it contains moral principles and the level of the people. Its essence is humanity, conscientiousness, the ability to always and everywhere help a neighbor or a friend. Namys is expressed in respect for elders, in hospitality, in a respectful attitude towards a woman.
Nogais gave great importance to the birth of a child. Choosing the name played an important role. This event took place necessarily in the house of the father of the newborn. The name was associated with the future of the child. Therefore, their choice was taken very seriously. The old and wise people would gather in the house, and the first word was given to the most respected of them. If his proposal was agreed, the name was given immediately.
