Camel

Top soundboard: Tianshan resonance spruce (aged over 10 years). The edge is inlaid with redwood.
Back soundboard (shanaq): Chinor (Oriental plane tree) — a sacred tree native mainly to Central Asia and southern Kazakhstan (this specific wood was delivered by a special shipment from Samarkand).
Head and overlays: Hornbeam.
Neck: African red Gabon wood, accented with hornbeam grain inlays.
Features:
The instrument is adorned with elements of Kazakh ornamental art in the traditional "animal style", crafted from various precious woods. The central motif is called "tүйе табан" (camel’s footprint), as identified by scholars of national ornamentation — resembling the imprint of a camel’s hoof.
Additionally, the sides and neck area of the body are decorated with elegant geometric patterns symbolizing infinity, enhancing the aesthetic and harmonious design of the instrument.
