EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1823 showcases the exquisite costume of a Mari woman from the Volga River region in the 18th century. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every aspect of her attire is depicted with precision and artistry. The focal point of her ensemble is undoubtedly the tall conical schourki hat, adorned with a long tail. This unique headpiece is crafted from bark covered with cloth and embellished with an array of beads, shells, and coins. It serves as a testament to the Mari people's rich cultural heritage and their penchant for intricate craftsmanship. Her gown flows gracefully around her figure, complemented by a cloth girdle that accentuates her waistline. Completing her ensemble are bark shoes, which not only provide practicality but also add an element of tradition to her overall look. This engraving offers us a glimpse into the fashion sensibilities prevalent among Mari women during this era. It highlights their deep-rooted connection to nature through materials like bark while showcasing their flair for incorporating decorative elements such as beads and shells into their clothing. Created by Johann Gottlieb Georgi under Jean-Baptiste Eyries' guidance, this piece captures both historical accuracy and artistic beauty. Its inclusion in J-B. Eyries La Russie: Costumes demonstrates its significance in preserving Russian culture's costumes, manners, and mores during the early 19th century. Through this print, we can appreciate not only the aesthetic appeal but also gain insights into societal norms and traditions that shaped Mari women's lives along the Volga River centuries ago.
