Abstract

The art of petrolyphs has been intrest to human societies for a long time. One of the prominent areas of rock art in the south of Kerman province is Tang Mordan in Faryab city. On the way to this valley, various motifs have been carved, including human, scorpion, dog, goat, bird, fish, leopard, lion, moon and obscure motifs. There are engravings on the rocks or big stones of the riverside, which seems that the artists of this gorge intended to tell stories. In order to understand the concepts and meanings of these motifs, it is necessary to know the symbolic components that once had a specific meaning in ancient cultures, just like verbal language. and interpret with a scientific method. The main goal of this research is to classify Tang Mordan rock motifs and analyze their meaning based on the iconographic method, and it seeks to answer the question, what is the meaning and concept of the Tang Mordan petroglyphs from the point of view of iconography? The research method for documenting the motifs is field and library observation with a historical and analytical approach, based on examining the details and drawing style of the motifs. So far, it is not possible to accurately date these motifs with the help of laboratory methods, and only with the traditional comparative approach and content analysis of the motifs, a relative history for these motifs can be proposed.
