Abstract:

It is located on the border of East Anadolu with Iran, Nahcivan and Armenia, and has been influenced by various cultures because it is located on a transition route on the historic Silk Road crossroads. The area where the traces of this interaction are best seen are traditional hand documents. Local documents have been affected by the districts of Kars, Van, Pain, Caucasus and Western Iran, which are close to them in terms of technical, color, motivation and composition characteristics. But this interaction has not been directly and has changed shapes, turning into local-specific motives has gained characteristic characteristics. In texts, in the past, soil and root paint were used, while in recent periods more chemical paint was preferred, and the natural colors of the rubber were also largely used. In texts with harsh nodes and overheating height, the "Gördes Node" technique has been used. Nowadays, the change in the way of life in the town has reduced interest in traditional hand-to-hand documents, and has also slowly resulted in the extinction from the memory of the society. From the examples that can be reached to the present day, the technical, color, motivation and composition characteristics of the local node documents have been evaluated, the place and importance of the traditional Anadolu node documents have been revealed.

Abstract:

Igdır that is the border with İran, Nakhichevan, and Armenia is located in Eastern Anatolia in Turkey. The city is influenced by various cultures because it is on historical The Silk Road that is a transit route. The results with the best traces of this interaction are traditional handwoven. The local weavings were influenced by the close circles of Kars, Caucasus, Van, Agri and West Iran in terms of technique, color, motif, and composition. However, this interaction has changed its shape in time, and it has become characteristic by transforming into local motives. In the past, the use of soil and root paints was preferred in knitted fabrics with high-intensity colors. In recent years, more chemical dyes have been preferred and natural colors of wool have also been used to a great extent. Generally, these fabrics have a coarse weaving, and the pile height is quite high and the technique of double arnica knotting as called 'Gördes' is used. Today, with the change in lifestyle in the region, the interest in traditional handwoven fabrics has decreased. With the decline of those practicing this profession, traditional weavings have been forgotten. In this study, the technique, color, motive and composition characteristics of knotted weaves and the importance and place in the traditional Anatolian knotted weavings were determined.
