Description
Summary:We do not have somuchinformation about clothes used by Turkish People who lived before Islam. Clothing and accessories are important elements which represent Turkish Culture and whole culture should be analysed well in order to understand their meanings. Especially we should be much more careful when we tell about clothing and accessories that belong to periods in which clothes were not worn not only to protect the people from climate conditions but also to show life conditions, ethnical background, social status, title and career with the colours. The shapes and pendants of the military belts which are called "kur" in Turkish custom are very remarkable to understand the title of a person. Arrow bags which were used by Turks during their history evolved in the length of time. The type called "kurluk" since were fixed on kurs is going to be analysed with details in our essay.
