The Cultural
Heritage

Emergence: this adornment origin
is connected with the existence of the
removable collar richly sewn with glass
beads and the tradition to wear long
beaded ear-rings among the Khanty and
Mansi. “Ear-rings being present among
the Khanty in XIX century were self-
made adornments in the form of metal
hooks hung for an ear lobe with a row of
beaded threads ending with metal coins.
Moreover, these pendants descended on
the shoulders. The ear-rings were joined
with a chain or glass beads thread crossing
the chest under the chin” [12. P. 207-208].
The reminder of this type is met in making
adornments for the traditional fabric dolls
akan’.
Place in the collection: the first
adornment came in museum funds in 1979.
This sort of pectoral is the most numerous
one here.

3. THE TRANSFORMATION OF
THE PECTORAL IN THE FORM OF
STRIPES
Shape: as in the previous case, the basis
of this type is two laced vertical stripes
combined in the centre or in the lower
edge with a broad horizontal ribbon.
An additional rectangular beaded stripe
descends from the central part of the
horizontal ribbon. The bottom edge of
this ribbon is lower than two side stripes
or equal to them. The lower edges of the
stripes are decorated with beaded fringe
(strings) with metal beads/buttons/small
bells or beaded rings. The upper edges of
the laced stripes are joint with the help
of 2–3 beaded chains combined with the
one or sewn to cloth belt going around the
