Men from a group of coastal Koryaks in traditional fur clothes: kukhlyanka with a hood, trousers and footwear. The skins of domestic deer for clothing were purchased by Koryaks from reindeer herders in exchange for fat, meat and skins of marine animals. Men are standing in front of a stationary wooden dwelling. Such houses appeared among the Koryaks during the period of development of Kamchatka by Russian explorers.
