Abstract

Hasan Zirak was a vocal artist who recorded over a thousand songs.The aim of this research is to identify the types of women’s attire and decorations, The guiding perspective of this study is rooted in the sociology of literature, the artist’s individuality, literary and art content. The research method is descriptive, employing textual analysis through qualitative content analysis. . For this purpose, all verses referring to women’s clothing (garments and ornaments) were examined. , the songs reflecting attire and adornments for each body part were categorized accordingly. The findings revealed that women’s clothing in the songs includes headwear (such as headbands), garments (like dresses and scarves), colors of cloth, textile names, and production origins, as well as decorations such as earrings, bracelets, anklets, and natural cosmetics like kohl and henna. Notably, footwear is entirely absent in these depictions of cloths, which can be attributed to the influence of social culture on art. Through his lyrics, Zirak has recorded and preserved a segment of the intangible heritage of his society. It appears that in the absence of formal historical records, folk songs serve as custodians of culture and collective memory, documenting historical shifts in fabric usage and jewelry trends.
