With a shield for the good of his people

The shields on unique costumes of the Circassian fashion designer Yuri Stash, half-covered with a sleeve or material, it seems at first glance, serve as a wonderful decoration according to the artistic intention of their creator. However, they, worthy of a separate presentation as pictorial panels in the shape of a protective circle, in fact, reflect historical milestones of the Adyghe people's evolution, vividly and clearly show a high skill and a creative approach of the artist and loudly urge visitors to the exhibition of his works to be careful.
However, created of fabrics or leather with a use of ornamental compositions. made with gold and silver threads, they do not look redoubtable at all. But the images on them look protective with their content, whether there is a flying eagle, a bright star, a family tamga or a solar sign.
White, black, golden or red, the shields of Yuri Stash keep secrets of the military glory of the Adyghe people, who knew how to keep the line for centuries and protect their lands against external enemies. And no matter how the long-suffering fate of the Adyghes developed, this skill was preserved in each of them in the memory. It is evidenced by these shields shining in the light, shields, which the Great Master has created for the good and protection of his people.
