Vestments of the Koriak: Cultural Heritage of Far Eastern Russia in 1814

About the Item

These original antique images are hand-colored and from the publication "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Russians," which includes sixty-four colored engravings with descriptions. The writer of this work is William Alexander, and it was published by John Murray in 1814. This work aimed to illustrate and describe the traditional dress and customs of various Russian peoples, including indigenous groups, at the beginning of the 19th century. It serves as an important historical record of cultural attire and practices of that era. The detailed colored engravings were a common method of such documentation in a time before photography, intended to provide the Western audience with a visual account of distant cultures. The engravings present traditional clothing from the Koriak culture, which is an indigenous group in Russia: 1. **Female Koriak:** This engraving would typically show a Koriak woman dressed in traditional clothing that would be suitable for the everyday activities and climatic conditions of her environment. The attire likely includes a fur-lined hood or headpiece and a practical, warm dress or coat, possibly with indigenous patterns or ornaments. 2. **Koriak:** This image would represent a Koriak man in his standard attire. The clothing would be practical for the nomadic and hunting lifestyle of the Koriak people, usually made from animal skins and furs, and may include boots and gloves for warmth, with details that signify his identity and status within the community. 3. **Koriak in his dress of ceremony:** This would depict a Koriak man in ceremonial dress, which would be more elaborate and decorated than everyday wear. Such a garment would likely include symbolic decorations, perhaps denoting tribal affiliations, spiritual beliefs, or social status. Accessories might be used to signify the importance of the occasion, such as special headgear, jewelry, or weaponry. The Koriak people live in the Koriak Autonomous Okrug, which is a part of Kamchatka Krai in the Russian Far East. They inhabit areas in the northern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula and the southern end of the Chukotka Peninsula. Their traditional territories include the tundra and the taiga regions of the Russian Far East, where they have historically engaged in reindeer herding, hunting, and fishing.
