Abstract:
The paper presents a preliminary study of the identification of leather and fur 
handicrafts parts from the Soviet period and Repablic of Moldova. Initially, the 
historical evolution of the traditional pieces of leather and furs in this period 
was studied. The great interest in handicrafts pieces is motivated not only by 
the objective appreciation of vital, aesthetic and ethical values, but also by an 
ecological crisis related to the loss of creative capacities, capitalization of 
material goods, weakening continuity between generations and the 
disintegration of the intangible and ethnic cultural heritage of the people.
