Context (Production / use)
According to the catalogue card for 1933.358, 'The Transbaikal Buriats in Barga. Since 1921, several hundred families of Transbaikal Buriats have emigrated from Siberia to Barga (N.W. Manchuria), where the authorities assigned them the valley of the Shinke River (a right-hand tributary of the Imin River), southeast of Hailar.
The garments in this collection (No's. 1933.358-66) were ordered through a Russian trader living among the Transbaikal Buriats in Barga, and made by a woman of the tribe. The materials were bought by the Russian trader in Chinese and Russian shops in Hailar, according to her instructions (this is the usual procedure, as the Buriats seldom have time to go to town themselves). This woman belonged to the group of Transbaikal Buriats living, before emigration, in or near St Borzya (Aginskaya Duma), the sixth station northwest of the Russo-Chinese frontier, on the Western Line of the Chinese Eastern Railway. The river Onon-Borzya runs through it.
The style of dress in this collection may, therefore, be said to be that of the "Aginsk" Buriats of Transbaikal. Buriats from this region use this territorial designation for themselves, "Selenginsk" Buriat women, and probably those of other sections of Transbaikal, have certain peculiarities in dress.'

When the coat was removed from display in July 2022 the wire and chipboard mannequin was stuffed with newspapers dating from the 1938- 1941. Combined with the heavy light damage in deep folds of the coat when displayed on a mannequin, this may suggest that the coat has been on continuous display since that period having been returned to permanent display in 1990 after the Maudslay Hall gallery was redesigned in the late 1980s
