Abstract

One of the important findings during the archeological activities in Siraf port was decorative plasters, the use of which could be seen in the mosque, houses and on the tombstone of Siraf. The decorative richness of these plasters and a few researches related to the effect of Sasanian Plastering art on Siraf plasters are among the reasons for selecting this research topic. The main purpose of this study is to identify the decorative types of plant and geometric motifs seen on Siraf plasters and examine their similarities and differences with those from Sasanian plaster motifs from Chal Tarkhan and Ctesiphon. Accordingly, the main questions of the research are: What are the plant and geometric motifs in Siraf influenced by Chal Tarkhan and Ctesiphon plasters and What structural components do they have in similarities and differences? This is a descriptive- analytical research done with a library study and a comparative approach was applied. During the excavations carried out by archaeologists in Siraf, plasters with various designs of plant and geometric motifs were found. Considering that the Siraf port was one of the important ports of the Persian Gulf during the Sasanian Period until the early centuries of the advent of Islam, archaeological studies, historical and geographical sources, and available evidence showed that the designs used in Siraf plasters were inspired by Sasanian ones.
