@article{2017,title={CLOGS THAT BELONG TO 18TH-19TH CENTURY IN ETNOGRAPHY MUSEUM-ANKARA},abstractNode={One of the cultural heritages that have been trying to maintain its presence to this day is the Turkish baths. Bath culture with its architecture and the ornaments is an important structure that evolved out of the need for water and cleanliness. The bath wares which have been integrated to the architecture carry great value as artefacts that express the wealth of the Turkish Bath Culture. The fardels and the washcloth, bath glove, “kildan”, bowl and such items inside the fardels are an irreplaceable part of the Turkish baths; clogs however have a separate place among these items. Clogs, which can be explained as slippers for wet floor have been designed in a very plain and simple like pattens and used at home in the kitchen, bathrooms and yards and in the mosques in sanctuaries. However, the cogs that were prepared with ornaments and heels in Ottoman period to be used by women in the baths are qualified as artefacts. These clogs show a rather great difference from its regular examples in daily usage in weather expressing the difference in the social status of women or for a different purpose of usage. It is known by most that clogs have been used until recent time. The examples that have been taken into subject in this study are unfortunately found as ornaments in houses or in museums and private collections as artefacts.},author={Demet ÖRNEK},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
