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.
