The article is devoted to an issue that has not received sufficient coverage in the scientific literature — the artistic reconstruction of the Ugric jewelry in the middle ages. The methods and stages of experimental artistic reconstruction of women's ornaments of temporal rings and noisy suspensions of the Kinyaminsky II burial ground (Surgut region, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Ugra) are described. In accordance with the research objectives, the graphic reconstruction of jewelry made by V.I. Semenova was studied, and the analysis of Ugra Museum collections was carried out based on materials, technological methods of execution, size, and shape. 158 items of women's jewelry were studied: ordinary simple bracelet-like rings, single-bead; two-bead, three-bead, multi-bead, four- and five-lobed, zoomorphic with the image of stylized figures of the beast; as well as numerous elements and fragments of the temporal rings (XII-XVI centuries). The comparison revealed the differences in the graphic reconstruction of V.I. Semyonova from the studied items of museum collections in the structure of the arched base-shield. A graphic reconstruction of the temporal rings from the Kinyaminsky II burial ground was performed, followed by an experimental reconstruction in the material. The research results are significant in the context of the study of ethnocultural processes, as well as the development of techniques of arts and crafts, the formation of traditions of folk art.
