    CĂCIULA – INDICIU AL SEXULUI, AL VÂRSTEI ŞI AL STATUTULUI SOCIAL
    (CEP USM, 2008) Cazacu, Alexandru
    Coverings, as the majority of clothing pieces help us differentiate the sex of the person who is wearing it. The coverings for the men’s head and those for the women differ in shape they have, the material they are made from, colour, the way in which they are worn etc. The men’s coverings have, in most cases, the role of emphasizing the manliness, the power, while the women’s coverings often highlight the delicacy, beauty etc. In accordance with the type of covering, we can identify the age and the social status of the person who is wearing it. The Greeks, but also the Romanians, respect some certain rules concerning the way of dressing. In Greece (custom respected mostly in neo-Hellenic period), like in Moldova,he greatest difference between an unmarried and a married woman, between a young and an old woman, in many regions, is made through the way in which her hair is combed and the way her head is wrapped. The wrapping of the women’s head was marked by special events (wedding party, demise, going to church), these examples are also available for men’ s head coverings

    SIMBOLUL COROANEI
    (CEP USM, 2008) Cazacu, Alexandru
    The highest sign of the power and of the authority was always the crown (indifferently of from what material it is made, vegetal or mineral). Unlike other coverings, the crown is not just a simple sign, but it becomes a symbol also. Her place on the top of the head is giving her an impending signification; it comprises not only the values of the head, the peak of the human body, but also the values of what is above the head, a gift that comes from heavens: it marks the transcendental character of a filling. Its circular shape shows the perfection and the participation at the heaven’s world, which symbol is the circle, it joins all that is above and under of the crowned person marking, however, the limits that, in anybody else, separates the terrestrial from heavenly, the human from divine: a reward of an attempt, a symbol of victory, the crown is a promise of an immortal life, like of the gods.
