It consists of two anthropomorphic iron figurines whose features are defined by coining, and two wooden images of salmon trout fish. In the perception of the Northern group of the Evenki, the salmon trout is the shaman’s main helper ghost during a rite, helping him travel along the mythical shaman river. Abstract by V.V.
