ABSTRACT
Introduction: the article is devoted to the analysis of the early sources on the Udmurt ancient woman headwear. The chronological framework of the study is limited, on the one hand, by the very first confirmation of the ayshon (XVI century), and on the other hand, by the era of the first expeditions in Russia (XVIII century), which laid the foundation for future ethnographic research.
Objective: to determine the degree of reliability and informativity of descriptions and images of the Udmurt headwear of the XVI–XVIII centuries.
Research materials: works of travelers of the XVI–XVIII centuries, containing data about ayshon.
Results and novelty of the research: the article provides a comparative analysis of materials about ayshon in the sources of the XVI–XVIII centuries. Texts, engravings with texts, and early sources with ethnographic materials of the end of the XIX – beginning XX centuries are compared. For the first time, all original graphic images and descriptions of this headwear related to the specified time period are published together. The characteristics of the ayshon in the descriptions generally correspond to each other, as well as its known images and later ethnographic data. The materials of the article can be used in ethnographic and source studies.
Key words: Udmurts, traditional costume, headwear, ayshon, expeditions of the XVIII century, engravings.
Acknowledgements: the article is carried out within the framework of the state task АААА-А18-118041290047-7 of the R. G. Kuzeev Institute for Ethnological Studies, Ufa Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
