ANTİK ANADOLU TEKSTİLİNDE İNSAN FİGÜRÜNÜN SEMBOLİK KULLANIMI

(SYMBOLIC USE OF HUMAN FIGURE IN ANCIENT ANATOLIAN TEXTILE)

Canan ERDÖNMEZ

SUMMARY

In Ancient Anatolia, human was spiritually and physically very significant in

terms of rituals and belief systems. With his life philosophy and body, human was

appreciated as a whole and became an important component of Anatolian

symbolism during this period.

In ancient period and post, motifs were derived from symbols because of

communication necessities and became bridges to express inexpressible. We get

information on the beliefs of Anatolian people from the remains of Neolithic period.

Three main subject were practiced with reliefs and paintings on the walls of

temples in Çatalhöyük: Birth, life, death. In Neolithic period, the man who became

sedentary and laid the basis of today’s life also left works behind that reflect

religious beliefs of human beings. Human figure in Ancient period is seen in two

ways: The first one is as a whole and the second one is the use of particular parts

of the body. In both ways, human was represented by being portrayed in

accordance with rituals.

When they are analysed, it is seen that ancient period Anatolian textiles form

a colourful and fantastic whole. Apart from being functional and decorative, the

textiles also served in belief systems and rituals. Figures on ancient period textiles

had a systematics, too. Especially, the human figures on these textiles were a

narrative language. Experiences, fears, happiness and the emotions of feeling

close to Gods were expressed in these narrations. With the effectiveness of

narration, human figure has been in every area of textile (weavings, hems,

laceworks, embroideries and appliques). This research aims to determine and

compile the areas and forms of utilisation of human figure in ancient period for

them to be a source.
