Clothing peoples of Yakutia Bashny.Net

The population of Yakutia is 955, 6 thousand. People, of which about half is represented by the indigenous people. Make up most of the Yakuts, the rest minorities. We offer a selection of clothes some small peoples of Yakutia.




For northerners deer - not only the main mount and a source of food, but also a valuable "supplier" of materials for clothes. Has long winter clothes were made of reindeer skin, summer - rovduga (tanned buckskin). Now traditional clothes are mostly either during the holidays, or combined with modern clothing.



Still should be pointed out that today's national dress of northern peoples is very different from the traditional. It is connected not only with the advent of new materials in use, but also with increased inter-ethnic contacts, which occurred as a result of the interchange of parts of clothing. For example, the Even reindeer herders now prefer either dead outer clothing (as in the Chukchi and Koryak), or fur jacket with pockets and collar (as Yakuts).



According Evdokia Side - the Even poet, melodist and collector Even folklore, "not so long ago, men's and women's clothing Evens was the same and the difference is mainly in the number and nature of jewelry." Men aprons decorated modestly, women's well decorated rovduga fringe, fur tassels, metal pendants etc.

Art sewing beads indigenous peoples of the North passed down from generation to generation. Beaded ornament combined with cloth, leather, fur northern masters decorate clothing, boots, hats, and even deer and reindeer sledges.







The smallest and everyday items of clothing and household items are striking richness and complexity of ornamental bead embroidery.





Ornaments showed social and gender and age differences, and some decorative elements were something like calendars. It was in the jewelry and ritual significance - it was thought that the ringing of metal pendants scare away evil spirits and protects the wearer.
