Description O’tov — is the living place of Central Asian nomadic tribes. As it can be constructed and removed within a short period of time, it was evolved on the basis of long time knowledge and experience of nomadic tribes. Its rib structure is made of wood, and wooden pieces are combined with the skin, not by metal wire or nails. There are special holes for joining wooden parts of otov together. The ribs of otov are constructed in round shape and its outer layer is covered with felt (wood fabric). The interior is covered with various carpets and other covers.At present such otovs can be met in shepherds of Surkhandarya and Kashkadarya regions of Uzbekistan and in Karakalpakstan.
