Annotation:
The article reviews modern Buryat sculptors' searches for expression of global hu- man and national values unity. Starting from the end of the 20th century Buryat sculpture has been characterized by prevailing of folklore and mythological mo- tives, rather than traditional genres and decorative stylization. Plots and images from myths, heroic epos and fairy tales are becoming symbols and signs of ethnic identity. Modern sculptors reflex these motifs not only by images of ancient warri- ors, shamans or woman and mother as a home guard, but also by preserving the symbolism of ancient rites and rituals in sculptures of their contemporaries. In many sculptural portraits and compositions one can find an associative and symbol- ic layer which shows national life features, highlights national ideals and feelings.
Keywords:
Buryat sculpture, folklore, mythology, religious Buddhist art, bronze plaster sculpture, ornament, images of soldiers, nomadic civilization, symbolism of female images, national identity.
