The decoration of the fir tree features very large Tuvan ornaments made by craftsmen from Tuva.

Ornaments are an important part of the traditional culture of Tuva, a region in Central Asia. They are not only decoration, but also symbols for the Tuvan people. On the fir tree you can find a symbol of wealth and prosperity - the Tibetan knot of happiness.

The abundance of gold color in the decoration reminds us that Tuva is the ancestral home of such ancient peoples as the Scythians, Huns, Turks, whose burial mounds, stone sculptures and steles with inscriptions are scattered throughout its territory, and of the Scythian gold, which is in the National Republic Museum in Kyzyl.
