The art of the Republic of Daghestan on the west shore of the Caspian Sea (one of territories making up the Russian Federation) is chiefly represented by items from the mountain settlement of Kubachi, a region inhabited by the Dargin ethnic group. Fragments of architectural décor: parts of tympana and slabs of shale carrying high reliefs that once adorned buildings of the late 14th – early 15th centuries. The low reliefs on sandstone probably come from a different settlement in Daghestan.
The collection of bronze pots (the earliest dating from the 14th century) include hemispherical ones from Kubachi and a group of spherical vessels bearing depictions of people, animals and birds that were made elsewhere.
