Young women from the Primorsky Chukchi group are dressed in kamleiki (clothing of a blind cut) made of multi-colored cotton fabrics. The kamleyka was worn over a fur overall or kukhlyanka, which made it possible to protect the fur clothing from moisture. Each woman is wearing braided beaded jewelry, which is considered a means of protection from evil spirits - the culprits of diseases.
