The indigenous peoples of Khabarovsk Krai - the Nanai, Ulchi, Nivkhi, Udege, Negidals, Orochi, Evenks, Evenks - have created a unique artistic culture on their land. Carpets are one of its most striking and diverse forms. They are made of various materials - textile, fur, bird skins, fish skin, rovdug, reed rods. Textile carpets were most widely used by the Nanai and Ulchi, fur carpets were used by the northern population of the Even and Evenks. Items made of bird skins and rovduga are more typical of the Negidals. In the past, the Udege people even made carpets from birch bark.
The exhibit included about 60 works of carpet art made between 1941 and 2012. They were systematized into two sections: "Textile carpets" and "Furs and leather goods". The first section included rugs made in the techniques of applique, embroidery, mosaic and weaving from strips of fabric. The group "Furs and leather goods" included products made of deer fur and other taiga animals, as well as works made of bird skins and fish skin.
