The sculpture “Num” by Viktor Yadne is crafted from reindeer antler and symbolizes the Nenets god who descended to earth in the form of an old man. This intricate and detailed carving conveys spiritual strength and wisdom, serving as a reminder of the sanctity of the spirit and the unbreakable connection to the traditions of the people. The face of the elder radiates calmness and eternal wisdom, while the material—reindeer antler—symbolizes the bond with nature and its power. “Num” embodies the cultural heritage of the Nenets and their deep respect for traditions and ancestral spirits.
