Abstract
The article is devoted to the local originality of Kalmyk women's needlework – works of Buddhist art, made in the technique of application and facial embroidery. The author notes the features of this syncretic art form, its cultural potential, artistic, applied and cult significance. The specificity of the Kalmyk embroidery with colored wool thread, the combination of silk application technique and the stitching of colored cords, braid and braids, edgings and backing embroidery background are noted. The author emphasizes the parallels of pictorial, sculptural, applicative and embroidered works with the architectonics of temples, creating a holistic artistic ensemble.
