Description

The Mongolian saying, "The pack of the last camel is heavy," illustrates that the packing of camel caravans was the original idea of the Mongolian nomads. According to current research results, this saying also has a symbolic meaning: the last camel in the caravan was packed with various important items, such as the plate of the dog. Packing it to the last camel in the caravan shows the importance of the plate and also this camel. This plate is an important piece of equipment for the nomads, an inevitable part of everyday nomadic life, and thus has symbolic meaning too.
