Ger with painted door and sleeping dog, nearby Ovoo shrine, near Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia


This ger, was located by an Ovoo shrine. Gers (meaning home) are portable dwellings made from ribs of bent wood covered with layers of fabric and sheep's wool felt for insulation and weatherproofing. The wooden door is a recent invention that replaces the original felt curtains across the opening.
