"The Kyrgyz Kalpak" is a colorful, short piece on the symbolism of Kyrgyzstan's nomadic hat aiming at finding the peak of religious unity and experience. Characters such as Central Asia's Al-Khidr (Kydyr) and Kyrgyzstan's epic hero Manas are included along with quotes from the Qur'an, Torah, Bible, and Kyrgyz folklore. The Kyrgyz Kalpak honors age-old tenants of the Silk Road's many religions while simultaneously weaving divided factions together.
