Summary/Abstract: The article provides a description and an analysis of the literary context of valuable items in the well-known lyrics of national folk songs of the Belarusian Ponemania. A romantic poet Adam Mitskevich (1798–1855) was born in the land of Ponemania, not far from the town of Novogrudok and Lake Svityaz. In his poems, he borrowed a lot from local folklore – fairy tales, legends, and songs. The article aims to characterize the valuable items described in Belarusian folk songs, recorded in the homeland of Adam Mitskevich, from the perspective of the history of art and antiques.
