The modular display system consists of end panels connected with cross members that support the screens |
|
|
- end panels measure 23”wide x 92”high x 1.75”thick
- the cross members are made of two 5' sections bolted together to supports the approximately 9' wide x 6' high screens (ashkana chiy).
- this system can be used in open space with screens on both sides, or placed along a wall with only one screen facing out. The panels can also be used independently against the wall.
- three of the screens (the longer lower kanat chiy) are displayed on large semi-circular supports that suggest the outside curve of a yurt.
- included with the exhibit is a hands on model of a weaving frame like those used by the Kyrgyz to make reed screens
