On the front side: Figured above the cross’s upper end is a triangle with six vertical strips inside it at its lower side, the symbol of the All-seeing Eye. Embossed in the central part is an eight-pointed Calvary cross whose lower end rests on the mount of Golgotha outlined with a curved line; below is a vertical image of Adam’s head. The left and right ends have the captions ИС ХС (the letters С are reversed). Made by a Yakut artisan. It was worn by Evenki women in the bosom or over the clothes. Abstract by V.V. Gorbacheva
