Annotation:

The closed-up shoulder outdoor parka with a hood comprised in the men’s costume is made from dark-brown deer skin, fur outside. The wide strip of light fur along the hem not only elongated the garment, but also decorates it. A decorative element is also two elongated triangles of white fur symbolizing walrus tusks. The edges of the hood, sleeves, and hem have a trimming of dark dog fur. Abstract by V.V. Gorbacheva
