In the Buryat culture, as well as in the majority of traditional cultures, the ornament is the most ancient type of graphic designs. At the Buryat all was exposed to Ornamentation practically: clothes, jewelry, house utensils, dwelling, cult subjects, weapon and many other things.

Bashkir ornament.

For the Bashkir ornament – are characteristic as geometrical, and it is curvilinear – vegetable patterns. The form depends on execution equipment. Geometrical motives, are executed in equipment of calculating embroideries and in weaving. Curvilinearly – vegetable – in equipment of application, a stamping, a silver notch, in equipment of free embroideries (the platform, or "a slanting grid"). Usually patterns were put on a tree, skin, metal, a cloth. Ornamentation receptions are diverse: carving and list on a tree, a stamping and a carving on skin, metal processing, application, abusive and mortgage weaving, knitting, an embroidery.

The Bashkir ornament – one of the phenomena of the national Bashkir culture, the originality which has reflected it and peculiar features. The ornament for the Bashkir people was the only form of art and graphic creativity. Almost total absence in the Bashkir folk art of realistic images of animals, people and landscapes was caused by influence of Islamic culture, namely – a ban of Islam to represent the live. Islam not only excluded from art all other images, except an ornament, but also defined an extreme stilizovannost of its form, distribution of a geometrical ornament. Nevertheless, northern areas of the Muslim world knew broad application of images of animals in an ornament, a thicket stylized, and sometimes even rather realistic character.

The Bashkir ornament (both separate elements, and all composition) is almost always symmetric. The whole world contains the phenomena only in opposition: day – night, life – death, light – darkness, man's – female, left – right, etc. It is shown through symmetry of resisting figures of animals. In order that contrasts in mutual fight didn't destroy each other, the third element of composition, their differentiating – golden mean, a reference point, the symbolical image of an axis of the world is necessary. Thus, in an ornament ancient ideas of a triple rhythm of life, characteristic for the majority of the people were reflected.

In similar compositions the female figure, sometimes the tree image most often was central. Sometimes the central place was taken by a symbolical rhombus. Such replacements aren't casual and logical as also a female figure (an image of the goddess of all real), and the tree (a life tree), and a rhombus (an earth arable land symbol) are symbols of fertility, the life source.
