Symbols of Women's Jewelry in Altai Literature

Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of traditional women's jewelry in Altai literature and its symbols as a crucial part of the people's material culture within the evolutionary process. This examination is carried out in close connection with the socio-economic structure, natural and climatic conditions, and religious-mythological beliefs. In this regard, women's jewelry possesses the essential properties of the world and contains all the most important symbols functions. To revive the ethnic self-awareness of the younger generation, Altai poets turn to national images of objects (jylamash, jinji, cheedek, shikshirge, tana, sakusin) in their works.
