Signification
Description of hair length.
Contexte culturel
In Georgian folklore, the goddess Dali is often depicted with long golden hair that she combs on mountain peaks. In the 'Samaia' dance, the three women represent King Tamar at different stages, all featuring long, regal hair/headdresses. Long hair on men was a sign of rebellion in the late 20th century but is now widely accepted in urban areas. In some mountain regions, cutting a woman's long hair against her will was historically a severe insult to her family's honor.
