Sheep's leather is used also for the native dress for winter. Today lots of things are made out of leather like, clothes, bags, wallets, slippers, traditional shoes, hats, key holder, etc. All these items are expressing the nomad's life.

Morin khuur
The Morin Khuur (horse-head fiddle) is the instrument most associated with Mongolian traditions and culture. Mor(in) means horse. When Mongolians were entirely a nomadic nation, the horse was almost their only means of transport, as well as man's best friend. Many songs and poems were written extolling the horse.
There are a number of legends about how the Morin Khuur was first created, all based on a man's love for a dead horse. So central was (and still is) the horse to Mongolian culture, that the head of the horse was placed on top of the nation's principal musical instrument, and its tail hair is used for the two strings and for the bow.
Much of the canon of Mongolian performance art (song, dance, drama, stories, even blessings) is inseparably entwined with the music of the Morin Khuur. But it is not simply a traditional instrument; its special sound contributes much to the quality of modern music. For hundreds of years the instrument itself changed little until the twentieth century, when there were developments to playing technique and even to the Morin Khuur`s construction.

Fur
For centuries Mongolians are using fur for different kind of clothes as we do have harsh winter season. In olden times nomads were making handmade clothes such as traditional wear Deel, Tegtii, hand shoe, boots, etc Nowadays it is very high class use mad in the factories.
