EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases four members of the Buryat people, an ethnic group indigenous to Siberia, Russia. The image, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and diverse traditions of this fascinating community. In the foreground, a Buryat woman is depicted in traditional attire, wearing a coat adorned with intricate tassels and fur trimmings. Her coat, made of reindeer skin, is a testament to the group's long-standing hunting traditions. The woman's hands are delicately placed in her lap, showcasing the fine details of her formal robes, which are also decorated with colorful patterns and furs. To her left, a Buryat hunter is shown in action, his bow and quiver at the ready. His coat, made of the same reindeer skin as the woman's, is adorned with various tools and trinkets, reflecting his role as a provider for his community. The hunter's intense focus and determined expression convey the importance of his role in Buryat society. Behind the woman and hunter stands a noble, dressed in formal robes and headdress. His coat, also made of reindeer skin, is adorned with elaborate decorations and symbols of power. The noble's regal bearing and formal attire reflect his high status within the Buryat community. In the background, a shaman is depicted in a more mystical setting. His decorated coat is adorned with various ritual tools and symbols, including a shield and a staff. The shaman's intense gaze and raised arms suggest that he is in the midst of a spiritual ritual, further highlighting the deep spiritual and cultural significance of the Buryat people.
