Imitates an Evenki woman wearing a summer dress of yellow fabric, with bead decorations. Its head is made from reindeer’s ankle; a long plait of glutton fur covered with fabric imitates the traditional Evenki hairdo. Such dolls made of animals’ bones and fur belong to the earliest toy forms that existed among Siberian ethnicities. Abstract by M.V. Fedorova
