Based also on the artistic and expressive means of Kalmyk, the author considers gold sewing in the system of Kalmyk folk costume in the prism of the plastic worldview of the ethnic group. Embroidery as a fundamental component of the decor of the Kalmyk costume reflects the traditions of the Mongol-speaking peoples in the Eurasian vector of their development. The study emphasizes the authenticity of the sign system of the Oirat-Kalmyk costume in the conditions of the changed habitat of the ethnic group. The integrity of spiritual and material culture, as the utilitarian and artistic basis of the applied art of Kalmykia — is the basis of the analysis in the interpretation of the material. The results of the study show a developed Central Asian artistic tradition in the processing of textiles. The traditional decoration system of the Kalmyk costume reveals the preservation of the endemic tradition and its transformed development in the new conditions of the people’s resettlement and the expansion of ethnic and cultural contacts.
