The set of women’s festive accessories includes numerous items. Among them is a headband (nachelnik), a torc, neck, pectoral and back jewelry, a plait ornament, a belt with hip pendants, a pair of bracelets, earrings and rings. In addition, various silver amulets were sewn to the clothes: the solar circle “tuohahta” on headdresses, clasps, rhombus plates on coats “buuktaah son”, bells “kyabaka simege”, various shaped plaques on “bile” — the cloth fold of shoes.

The headdress of the bride was a “bastynga headband”. It was a four- or five- centimeters wide deerskin or leather band with sinewy threads sewn on it in several rows, as well as with metal plaques, seed beads and beads.

The first description of the headband was provided in 1779 by Johann Gottlieb Georgi, the medical doctor, chemist, naturalist, ethnographer and traveler,

Girls braid their hair and wear wide leather nachelnik headbands, completely covered with patterns and fire beads. Small threads with fire beads are suspended on the sides of their headbands, and there is a an ornament on the back, which is two-foot long and two palm wide and covered with patterns and fire beads.

The girl’s bastynga headband is distinguished by the beaded pendants on the temples, which are joined in the middle by a round silver plaque. In some cases, several long chains of copper or silver openwork plates descended from the back of the bastynga, which created a complex and beautiful pattern — “bastynga byata”. Such items were probably intended to cover the bride’s hair.

Such jewelry was not worn on a daily basis, but was most likely put on during ritual ceremonies.

It is likely that the piece of jewelry presented in the museum was made to order for Vassa Popova, the daughter of one of the wealthy residents of the 2nd Zhokhsogonsky settlement. However, this data is questionable, since the piece is not made in the modern manner: it includes a bastynga headband and three pendants hanging down from the back. Moreover, in terms of the design, the piece belongs to an earlier period, possibly the second half of the 19th century.
