Researchers note the connection of the horse image with the solar cult, as well as the role of the horse in Udmurt rituals and celebrations. According to M.G. Ivanova, the motif of double horse heads enhanced the protective function of the crest in ancient times.
Ancient myths tell of a woman-swan who pulled the earth out of the great ocean with her beak, thus creating our land. In Udmurt mythology, the swan is a symbol of the supreme deity, the sky, the sun, and life. Many characters in the legends transformed into swans, and Shunda-Muma appears as a woman-swan.
Shundy-Mumy (Mother of the Sun) is a female deity who helps the sun stay on the right path. According to the legend, Shundy (the Sun) would sometimes move away from Mother Earth, causing the earth to freeze, and then move too close, causing floods. Muzyem-Mumy (Mother Earth) pleaded with Shundy-Mumy to bring her son back to his senses. Then Shundy-Mumu took the sky into her hands and showed the sun the path it now follows, rising and setting at the same time.
The Idnakar Museum-Reserve is the only museum-reserve in the Udmurt Republic and adjacent territories. The basis for its creation was the settlement of Idnakar - a unique monument of archeology of the 9th-13th centuries AD, located on Mount Soldyr; the brand of the northernmost city of Udmurtia - Glazov. The museum contains material about the crafts and crafts of the inhabitants who occupied this territory. Among them were not only farmers, fishermen, hunters, but also many craftsmen - blacksmiths, jewelers, bone carvers. On the basis of the products of the ancient masters of Idnakar, which are now kept in the museum funds, the museum staff make copies of jewelry, household items of that time, and also bring Finno-Ugric ornament motifs into modern fashion. The museum has developed its own painting, where the motif is a floral ornament with khatma flowers, made in the colors of the state symbols of the Udmurt Republic.
