【 摘 要 】

The article deals with felt viewed in the synthesis of national ritesand traditions. The subject sphere of the nomads formed by ethnic culture manifeststhe spatio-temporal picture of the world onto relics of rituals and traditions. Theirpreservation among the Kalmyks and other Turko-Mongols is clearly reflected in thesubject symbolism, an important part of which is constituted by felt products. Traditionsand rituals in everyday life and economic structures make it possible to identify thedominant constants of material and spiritual cultures of the nomads, to trace mechanismsof their functioning. The latter can be traced in artistic crafts accompanying the sphereof ritual culture. Despite common origins with other nomadic cultures, the traditionalheritage of Mongolic peoples is original enough. This is the case with decorativepatterns of Kalmyk felts preserving the archaic layer of nomad ornaments. Due to thenatural and ethnocultural landscape, art is interconnected with ritual culture enrichedwith ethnic peculiarities of Kalmykia’s artistic traditions.
