The main treasure of a Bashkir woman has always been a breast plate. It was a really expensive jewel made of gems, corals and coins. It was passeddown from generation to generation, and was the family heritage.



During the Great Patriotic War, the breastplates "survived" after the repressions and kulaks dispossessions, were donated to the needs of the defense. Several tons of silver were collected. Precious metals were melted down into spare parts of military equipment, nonferrous - into cartridges.


Some people kept the tissue basis of the monisto, very rare- the "sulpy" - jewellery for hair in plaits. That is why today it is very difficult to find a whole breastplate. Masters redeem separate items from collectors and literally collect breastplates bit by bit, restore them according to the preserved schemes and folk tales.
