Abstract

The Iranian engraved TOMBSTONEs illustrate a significant part of thoughts and the artistic route belonging the natives of each region. They have been always in the eyes of the folks who have shown much respect and value to such artistic works.Considering the frequency of application as well as the beauty, the cypress as the Iranians’ tree of life has been given a special place among the other plant motifs. The cypress normally comes with symmetrical birds, flowers and geometrical shapes all applied to decorate Iranian TOMBSTONEs. Darussalam, the only remaining cemetery of the seven ones, is located in south west of Shiraz and hosts valuable collections of engraved plant motifs on TOMBSTONEs. The current research makes efforts to study the shape, meaning and historical background of those motifs so that it could find out the origin of these designs, the reason why they were frequently applied on the TOMBSTONEs, and how they were influenced by the social classes to vary in size and design. Including a wide variety of cypress decorations, such motifs borrowed their meaning from the common belief and the visual effects belonging to the Achaemenids designs particularly the ones by Sasanids and contemorarily by QAJARs.
