The article considers the samples of medieval small toreutics from the territory of Mongolia, south of the Russian Far East, and Tibetan amulets (among them probably there are medieval ones), the décor of which can be compared with the décor of the belt ornaments of the Kyrgyz Khaganate of the 9th–10th cc. (Sayan-Altai), the period of its domination in Central Asia. Some layers of the possible cultural influences in Central Asia and adjacent territories have been elicited based on the critical and comparative analysis.
