A collection of women’s handicrafts found in Zamoskvorechye is being restored and prepared for transfer to a museum. Moscow archaeologists discovered 17th-century artifacts during work on Bolshaya Tatarskaya Street that presumably could have belonged to city craftswomen.
“Among the artifacts found on the site in Zamoskvorechye are various items of women’s handicrafts. Cufflinks with enamel inserts, a thimble and hanging buttons made of non-ferrous metal are well preserved. Restorers have already managed to carry out the necessary conservation work. Such buttons were an indispensable attribute of the city’s costume of city dwellers. Of the jewelry, a girl’s ring was probably found, as well as various decorative figured overlays for accessories. After the restoration of the remaining artifacts found on this territory is completed, the set of the 17th-century Moscow craftswoman will be transferred to the museum fund as part of the collection,” said the head of the Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage.
Moscow archaeologists have explored the Zamoskvorechye area. The work was carried out at several excavations, and as a result, valuable historical data on the development of this area of Moscow was obtained.
The collection, formed as a result of archaeological research, includes 1,203 artifacts. They are items of urban life from the 15th to 17th centuries, as well as the 18th to 19th centuries. A variety of pomade jars, which were intended for various creams and ointments, as well as confectionery jars, such as a glass jar from the capital’s confectionery factory of Yegor Fedorovich Savatyugin, belong to a later period. The set of decorative porcelain figurines found depicting people and animals is also diverse – a glass figurine of a dog in a collar stands out against their background.
Bolshaya Tatarskaya Street got its name from the area that was previously located here, called Tatarskaya Sloboda. The first mentions of the Sloboda date back to the second half of the 17th century – it is mentioned in this charter, dated 1619.
In total, over the last 14 years, Moscow archaeologists have discovered more than 120 thousand finds. Over 47 thousand items have been transferred to Moscow museums in five years.
