ancient Khorezm coins shows a headdress with the image of a bird. The bird and its feather were considered a symbol of the state, and the crown was a symbol of the throne [2, 8]. The theme of the bird is reflected in various clothes and valuables even today. In Samarkand, mohi gold worn on the forehead, and in Bukhara similar bibishak and sarsuzon ornaments had the image of birds. In particular, the theme of birds was widely used in the products of Ko'khan jewelers. The zirak worn on the forehead also represented a bird. These ornaments are believed to bring happiness to young people. Khorezm dancers used ukki feather in some headdresses. Belief in the stars has existed since ancient times, and the bride wears jewelry (shawkal, zebigardon) with the image of the moon on her head and chest. The image of the crescent moon is believed to bring happiness and children. Among the Khorezm people, the crescent-shaped mount is common [4]. In H. Karomatov's research, the images of animals stamped in the shape of a cross in the shape of a cross, found in the Sopollitepa site of Surkhondarya, belonging to the second millennium BC, can be seen as symbols of totems and mystical beliefs. In Bukhara, bracelets with the head of a snake are sewn on the back of children's coats. The wide wrist rings of Khivaliks have the image of a frog. They believed that he protects from the evil eye and evil forces. It was believed that because the jinn and alvasti took the form of these animals, seeing their reflection in the gold bracelet would not cause harm. Badger skin, saiga king, wolf claw, snake head also served as talismans. "Relation to fish as a sacred and clean creature has been observed in our country since ancient times, this belief is also reflected in Avesta and used in various amulets." For example, the palate of a large carp fish is worn in the headdress of young babies with eyelets, pepper beads, musk, and silver coins, and old mothers are worn in the lapel and collar. In this case, they are strung together with other attributes [5, 9]. A rare shovelnose fish found in the lower reaches of the Amudarya is considered sacred since ancient times, and its totem is deified. Bakra is composed of the components of abikaraya and means water fish. The name of this fish is connected with the mythological carp in the Avesta book. Bakra fish was dried and stored in households as a symbol of fertility. Live meat was fed to barren and childless women. In Central Asia, the sacred animals include, first of all, sheep, mountain goats, and camels. In Khorezm, the ram king is considered an attribute that protects the household from various evil forces, evil spirits, and calamities. That is why the king of rams is hung above the gates of the house. In particular, amulets and talismans made of camel hair are widespread and are worn not only on people's necks, hands or headgear, but also inside the house. The sovkeli, the traditional headdress of the Karakalpaks, is embroidered with plaques depicting sheep kings, and the chest jewelry resembles sheep kings [3]. “Trees and bushes are also believed to have supernatural powers, and amulets were made from them and worn on clothes. Among the most sacred trees are mulberry, juniper, hawthorn, namatak, pomegranate and others. Triangular talismans are made of mulberry, patterns are printed on them, and necklaces are worn below them. Among the oldest amulets and jewelry are necklaces made of seeds of jiida, almonds, pistachios, pomegranates, and mulberries, and bags with onions, garlic, incense, and garmdori sewn into them. It is also believed that seeds of almonds, pistachios, mulberries and pomegranates give women fertility”. Most of the trees and shrubs listed above have thorns and thistles. According to the Zoroastrian doctrine, they formed a thorny, thorny, and thorny appearance in order to resist the cold air that entered the earth from the north and various diseases [1, 9]. In Khorezm, at noon on the wedding day, the chamanchi comes to the house where the ceremony is taking place, before the bride descends. He wishes the young bride and groom to the house owners. In order to protect the house from the evil eye of the bridegroom, the young bride hangs a chaman made by herself on the upper right side of the gate. Chaman is a local bush plant made from Ilyshtirik kingfish. It is rectangular in size, 40cm by 60 cm, with an X in the middle. The chaman will be decorated with various sweets. This amulet mainly serves to protect against the evil eye, because the word "chaman" means the eye in the ancient Khorezm language. Isfand is known and popular as a medicinal herb for thousands of years. This herb is used to ward off evil spirits and ward off their harm. Another name of incense is adrasmon, which is composed of the Avestan adr - "fire" and spenta - "holy" meaning "holy fire". In addition, the fruits of basil rose, pomegranate and fig trees were deified, and it was considered a sin to trample their leaves and fruits. According to Jumala, it is considered permissible to cut down a pomegranate tree only for old people. The reason is that pomegranate is considered a symbol of fertility, family and abundance. The names of these flowers and trees are mentioned in the books of Avesta and the Holy Qur'an [6]. Symbols related to fetishism representations are expressed through different functions and differences between regions. The inhabitants of the Lower Amudarya region have been engaged in fishing, irrigated agriculture and animal husbandry since ancient times. The spread of Zoroastrianism in ancient Khorezm shaped their ideas about believing in fetishes. The way of life of the Karakalpaks living in the region, especially the traditions of nomadism, formed the imagination and symbols of fetishism within their traditions [2, 4]. © 2022 Global Journals Volume XXII Issue VII Version I 47 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2022 H Expression of Symbols Related to Idea of Fetishism in the Territory of Uzbekistan
