The article briefly discusses the conservation and restoration of the saddle from the Berel burial mound no.11; the methods of studying the condition of the saddle, preparing it for exhibition, and the results of the work are listed. The authors also attempt to provide an archaeological interpretation of the artifact, i.e. the decoration of the saddle. Similar mythological content and artistic ways of its expression are revealed for the population of the Altai Mountains and Zhetysu in the era of the early nomads. In particular, this can be traced in the structure and design of the cult attributes of Zhetysu and the decoration of horse harness, saddles of the population of the Altai Mountains in the Early Iron Age.
