Abstract:
This article deals with the collection of Boris Alekseevich Kuftin, currently stored in the Russian
Ethnographic Museum. The main objective of the study was to clarify the circumstances of the
collection of clothing from burials in connection with incorrect interpretations of its composition
in historiography. For this purpose, the history of the North Ossetian expedition led by B. A. Kuftin
in 1926. In the course of the study, it was possible to find documents related to it in the archives of
the REM and MAE RAS (Kunstkamera), and using them for restoring the difficult history of the
initially huge collection, which includes, in addition to things, a photo collection, anthropological
materials and field records, which were dispersed in various institutions in Moscow, St. Petersburg
and Vladikavkaz. At the final stage of the study, by comparing the field materials of the scientist
with the preserved things from the burials, it was possible to identify two costume complexes from
Dargavs and Dallagkau, as well as individual items of women’s costumes from Lower Koban. Thus,
not only the collection sites of individual exhibits of the collection were restored, but it was also
shown that, contrary to the established opinion, the Kuftin collection gives an idea of the Ossetian
late medieval costumes.
Keywords: B. A. Kuftin, Ossetian late medieval costumes, Ossetian collections of the Russian Ethnographic Museum.
