Children of Mongolia
A little boy in a traditional wrestler's costume at the Naadam Festival in Choibalsan. He wears the Jodag, the open vest, the Shuudag, the small brief, Gutal, leather boots and the Loovus, the traditional pointed felt hat. He poses as if he is doing the short dance in which the wrestler imitates a falcon or phoenix taking off (“devee”).
