Annotation:

The shaman is wearing the ritual costume of dressed deer skin with a fringed hem symbolizing the shaman’s patron ghost in the image of a bird. The tambourine and mallet in his hands are the shaman’s most important attributes symbolizing the shaman's means of transport when traveling across the worlds of the Universe. Abstract by V.V. Gorbacheva
