EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the 1890s, showcases an Uriankhai-Todzhin fighter in his traditional costume. The image is taken from the album "Puteshestviya P. Ye. Ostrovskogo na Yenisey v 1894 i 1897 godakh" (The journeys of P. E. Ostrovsky on the Yenisei in 1894 and 1897), which documents the diverse ethnic groups, landscapes, and cultural artifacts of Siberia and the Russian Far East during this period. The Uriankhai-Todzhin warrior is depicted in a powerful and confident stance, with his back facing the camera. He wears a distinctive outfit consisting of a long, flowing robe, reaching down to his ankles, adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. Over this, he dons a thick, quilted jacket, fastened with large, decorative buttons. The fighter's head is covered by a tall, conical hat, which adds to his imposing presence. His feet are clad in high, carriage boots, featuring thick soles and laced-up designs, providing both protection and comfort. The warrior completes his ensemble with a pair of underpants, worn beneath his robe, and a belt, which holds a sword and other essential tools. The Uriankhai-Todzhin people, also known as the Khangai or Khangaites, are an ethnic group originating from Mongolia and the southern part of Siberia. They were renowned for their skills in archery, horsemanship, and martial arts. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into their rich cultural heritage and the traditional clothing that continues to inspire contemporary fashion and design. The image, taken from the National Library of Russia, serves as an essential reminder of the meeting of frontiers between different civilizations, and the diverse and fascinating histories they bring to light.
