Yeni Asur Kraliyet Ailesinde Giyim

Öz

Bu çalışmada çivi yazılı belgeler, arkeolojik buluntular ve sanat eserlerindeki betimlemeler incelenerek, Asur kraliyet ailesinin giyim tarzı ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda görsellerden kadın ve erkek giysilerinin şekilleri tespit edilmiştir. Betimlemelerde, kadın ve erkek kıyafetlerinin çok benzediği görülmektedir. Elbiseler genellikle bir iç entarisi ve onun dışına giyilen cüppe, kaftan tarzı bir giysi olmak üzere iki kattan oluşmaktadır. Bu giysilerin kumaş türleri, çivi yazılı belgelerin vermiş olduğu bilgiler ile arkeolojik kazılarda ortaya çıkarılan kumaşların analizinden belirlenmiştir. İncelemeler sonucunda kumaşların genellikle yün ve ketenden üretildiği anlaşılmaktadır. Bu kumaşlara dokuma esnasında ya da sonrasında desenler işlenmiştir. Kraliyet mezarlarından çıkan kumaşların üzerine iplik, boncuk ve altın gibi değerli madenlerle işleme yapılmıştır. Hem erkek hem de kadın elbiselerinde saçak süslemesi yaygın olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu saçaklar elbiselerin etek ucu ve yaka kısımlarına eklenmiştir. Arkeolojik buluntulardan, elbiselere eklenen saçakların altın ve ketenden yapıldığı ortaya konulmuştur. Görseller ile arkeolojik buluntulardan kral, kraliçe ve veliaht prenslerin başlıkları tespit edilebilmektedir. Nitekim görsellerde, kral ile veliaht prensler farklı başlıklar takmış olarak görülür. Kazılarda da kraliçelere ait muhteşem işçilikli taçlar bulunmuştur. Ayakkabılar incelendiğinde ise tercih edilen ayakkabı türü genellikle sandalettir.

In this study, the depictions in the cuneiform written documents, archaeological finds and artwork were examined and the dressing style of the Assyrian royal family was tried to be set forth. In this context, the shapes of the visuals of men and women's clothes were determined. In descriptions, it is seen that women and men’s clothes are very similar. The dresses often consist of two-fold; an internal robe and a tabard, caftan style garment, which wear on of it. The fabric types of these clothes were determined from the cuneiform documents and analysis of the fabrics revealed during archaeological excavations. As a result of the investigations, it is understood that the fabrics are generally produced from woolen and linen. Patterns were processed during or after weaving. The fabrics coming out of the royal tombs were processed with precious metals such as yarn, beads and gold. The fringe adornment is prevalently used in both male and female dresses. These fringes were added to the collar parts and the hemline of the dresses. From the archaeological finds it has been showed that the eaves added to the dresses are made of gold and linen.
