Rezumat

The Romani cultural heritage is still a poorly researched domain of contemporary heritology. It includes a number of beliefs, customs, and rites with a centuries-old tradition, and also artifacts and traditional professions practiced by the Romani people since their arrival in Europe. The accumulation of this heritage began in the late 1960s, when the last Romani trying to live as free nomads travelling with wagons were forced to settle in many countries of Central-Eastern and Southern Europe. The traditional professions the Romani already practiced when they came to Europe are one of the vital components of their cultural heritage. The historical sources of the late Middle Ages mention Gypsy blacksmiths, goldsmiths and gold-miners, singers, bear trainers, fortune tellers, kettle makers, and shoemakers. Information about Gypsies working as caretakers or watchmen, glass smelters, wood-makers, rope makers, and bell founders dates back to at least the 17th century. The names and identity of numerous Gypsy groups often stem from their professions, e.g. Romanian Kelderari means ‘kettle makers,’ Romanian Ursari means ‘bear trainers,’ or Hungarian Lakatusz means ‘locksmith.’ Furthermore, individual surnames of many Romani people from Central and Eastern Europe, especially Moldova and Wallachia, derive from their professions and crafts, including Kelderar, Lakatusz, Clopotar, or Lingurar. This paper will present the traditional Romani professions related to the processing of metals (Roma sa strune) or wood and wood-like materials (Roma caštale). This is the branch of craftsmanship that the Romani still use to hierarchise members of the Romani communities (nations).
