As noted by Chomič (1981: 18–20), the Nenets shamans did not pay so much attention to their costume as other Siberian shamans. Some shamans may have had special details in their costumes, but mostly they are reported to have consisted of a chamois coat and a headdress that covers the eyes.

Some kudesniki use at the service a malitsa of chamois leather (hairless), with a round copper plate over the chest. The malitsa (Sāmburtsja) is short, waist-long, with sleeves and narrow strips of clothing are sewn on all the seams. The hem is made of cloth. The hat is made of cloth and hangs in front of the eyes, which should be covered. A red strip goes around the head, another red strip over the top of the head, so that the blinker does not fall off. The blinker is black and hangs down all the way to the chest. The shoes are also of chamois leather.
