An Anthropological Study of Cultural Reflection of the Story of Glynbala Doll in the Social Life of Alvarez People in Ardabil Province

Glynbala is a doll and a kind of traditional toy for women and girls in most parts of Azerbaijan. Most of these areas have their own highlands, which differ in their physical structure and symbolic social function. In this case study, the focus is on the clay that is built by families in the village of Alvarez in the city of Sarein. The Glenn High doll among the people of Alvarez village also shows the role of the village girls, in other words, educating them about their future duties and social responsibilities. In other words, Glynbala socially reproduces the small scale of Alvarez women and their role in the family for children.
In the story of Glynbala, the people of Alvarez have a temporal and spatial item that has a somewhat structural tone and color to the culture of the Alvarez people. The climatic and biological conditions of the story show that the place of the story is a mountain with long and hard winters and short and dull summers. Everywhere in the story is full of difficult social life conditions that take place in winter. The problem of roads and means of transportation is related to the natural ecosystem of this mountain village, which is mentioned again in the story. It should be noted that in the anthropological analysis and interpretation of this article, we have used the theory of symbolic and interpretive anthropology. The Glynbala in terms of appearance and symbolic function with other Glynbalas cannot be said to be fundamental but minor. The story attributed to this Glynbala is for the people of Alvarez. Stories with this theme are rarely seen in similar stories.
