Chukotka Christmas tree: a real whalebone and stylish monochrome
The New
Year tree was decorated with whalebone products, Chukchi ornaments and
engravings with scenes from life. The works were made by an outstanding
craftsman from the Chukchi village of Provideniya, which is literally at the
edge of the earth, on the shore of the Bering Sea.
Traditional
bone-carving art is developing in the region, mainly from walrus tusks - the
silhouettes of walruses between the branches of the fir tree serve as a
reminder of this folk-art craft.
The Christmas tree is decorated in a graphic design, in black and white colors and decorated with openwork garlands depicting scenes from the life of the Chukchi people.
On the Main Alley of VDNH visitors are greeted by New Year fir trees, each of them representing a region of the country.
