Summary/Abstract: The topic of the Mansi sacred covers is an interesting aspect of Mansi religious and mythic culture. The sacred covers occupy a special place in Mansi art. They represent a highly important element of religious ritual practice and embody a fundamental idea that underlies many social structures, such as household cohesiveness, family welfare, and the fortune of successive generations. Most of the material is described from the Northern groups of Mansi.
