About this item
| Description: |
Dordzhi explains what dalyn shinj is: During weddings, the parents of the newlywed are given a sheep’s vertebra bone which they need to describe. If a person cannot do this, the bone is given to the next person. In a wedding delegation at least one person should be able to recount all the signs of the bone. It is done as follows. It involves two people: one asks the other to describe various parts of the vertebra. When answering, the first person should make a mistake on purpose once and then correct it by providing the appropriate answer. All parts of the vertebra have specific names such as ‘the Altai mountains’, ‘the ears of a taigan’, ‘the forehead of a warrior’, ‘a silver saddle’ and so on.
