Tobolsk Gubernia (Governorate), Beryozovsky Uyezd. Early 20th century

The difference between the costume and its figurine depiction:
A kerchief was an indispensable article of women’s clothing; the figurine does not depict a kerchief. Mansi reindeer herding women wore Nenets type shoes, yern vay, with the narrow side ending in a triangle at the instep; this item was ornamented with cross stripes of fur and wool. The figurine features men-style footwear.
