ÇANAKKALE AYVACIK PEŞKİRLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ
THE INVESTIGATION ON THE NAPKINS OF ÇANAKKALE AYVACIK

Summary/Abstract: The entry of beautiful goods into living spaces and transferring them to generations has been traditionalized. The cultural elements that are unique to Turks who have moved from Central Asia to Anatolia and Europe are understood from the examples we have obtained today. Textile material may not show much strength due to the conditions of the natural environment. The pioneers of ethnographic works of historical importance are also considered in this context. Turks have aimed to preserve and convey the essence of their ancestors by making reproduction of concrete products. The napkins in the group of concrete ethnographic works introduce us people’s understanding of beauty. In this article, seven textile samples produced were photographed in the Yeşilyurt village of Ayvacık. Ornament details were examined. It is aimed to create our cultural textile inventory from the past with the napkins reflecting the ancestral beauty perception. The owners were interviewed, product information was recorded, and photographs were taken. The napkins examined were woven on hand looms, their sizes changed, six hand-made patterns were made on hand looms, one of them was made on weaving loom, the decorations were made with vivid colours, these colours were not coloured with natural dyes, and therefore a very old dating cannot be done, and the two ends of the napkins were decorated by hand.
