The postcard depicts the interior of the Kazakh yurt which was acquired by the Museum in 1906. Initially, it was referred to as a Kyrgyz yurt. In the previous year this yurt from Semipalatinsk had served as setting in one of Hagenbeck's ethnological expositions. Afterwards the J.F.G. Umlauff company bought it and equipped it with a set of model figures, for which the company was particularly known.
