Abstract

The variety of forms of tombstones in the Islamic era, along with their motifs and pictorial signs, reflects the beliefs and values of the deceased and their society. This diversity of form and role in the tombstones of the northwestern region of Iran is particularly rich due to the presence of more Seljuk, Ilkhanate, Qara Qoyunlu, Aq Qoyunlu, Safavids, compared to other regions. This research employs a descriptive-analytical and historical approach, using field and library studies, to answer the following questions: 1. What are the structures and corresponding historical periods of the tombstones found in Eastern Mokryan cemeteries? 2. How do the motifs used on the tombstones relate to the deceased individuals? 3. What symbols are present in the inscriptions on the tombstones of Eastern Mokryan and do the existing inscriptions have historical roots? The conducted studies reveal that these tombstones can be categorized into the following groups in terms of form: Mihrab design, elevated, stone ram, cradle or flat, box, Dome-shaped and simple. The form of tombstones, is influenced by both society and culture, as well as religious and sacred architecture. And the motifs hold specific symbolic meanings, shaped by the regional culture, beliefs, and the historical context of the time and place.
