Abstract


This study examines the role of livestock products in traditional handicrafts in the Surkhan Oasis during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Using a qualitative historical-ethnographic approach, the paper analyzes how wool, leather, and dairy-related resources supported local craft production, household economies, and cultural identity. The findings show that wool was central to carpet weaving and felt production, while leather was used for durable everyday goods such as footwear, bags, and belts. These practices demonstrate the close relationship between pastoral life, material culture, and community identity. The study highlights livestock-based handicrafts as both economic activities and cultural expressions in the historical development of the Surkhan Oasis.
