  • Summary

    The chapter reviews the material culture of the Golden Horde and how it evolved from the nomadic culture of Mongolia, reflected, for example, in luxurious warrior belts and drinking cups. It stresses the religious diversity apparent in the Golden Horde burials and among its citizens before and after its Islamization, and how Islamization affected Golden Horde sites. It reviews town building under the Jochids and concludes with the Simferopol treasure, the content of which reflects the sophistication of the Golden Horde’s eclectic culture and its trans-Eurasian commercial connections.
