The author of the paper examines symmetry in the ornament of the Itelmens, a native
minority of Kamchatka. This aspect of the Itelmen ornament study represents an
unexplored area in contemporary art criticism. The Itelmen ornament on items of arts
and crafts employs various kinds of symmetry: rosettes, borders, nets. Symmetry in the
Itelmen ornament creates the beauty of the form, provides the ordering and consistency in the compositional structure of patterns and emphasises the national uniqueness of the Itelmen ornamental art.
Key words: Kamchatka, Itelmens, ornament, symmetry, rosettes, borders, nets, national uniqueness, unexplored area.
