- Abstract
- The article draws on a variety of archaeological, written, and ethnographic sources in an attempt to examine the issue of origins of the traditional Russian shirt with shoulder straps ( polika ). The primary sources for the study are archaeological data from the 16 th–17 th-century burials at the Voznesenskii monastery of the Moscow Kremlin. The authors analyze a variety of 12 th–18 th-century images depicting the decoration and specific features of the Russian dress. They argue that the origins of the shirts with shoulder straps could therefore go back to the 11 th–13 th-century period, and make conclusions about the further development of the style.
