Abstract

The history of calendar symbols in Iranian art, including CONSTELLATIONs and astronomical signs, dates back to prehistoric periods. These symbols appeared in ancient works of Iran and reappeared with many forms in the artistic works of Islamic period as well. In the late second century, Indian astronomical topics also appeared in Islamic astronomy. The attention of that time’s rulers to astronomy increased its importance among residents of Islamic region and led to the changes of astronomical signs in the artistic works one of its instances is pottery and its designs. Muslim artists moderated many symbolic designs of Iran ancient art and kept them alive by harmonizing Islamic motifs through Islamic world view. Many remained designs of Islamic period have been formed on the basis of symbolic concepts which reflect religious and belief issues.Regarding the fact that Persian potters used a motif for decoration in each period, the following questions can be asked: First, other than decoration in which areas did the artists use the motifs? Second, what was the purpose of potters for using ASTRONOMICAL SYMBOLS?This study has a qualitative and strategic structure and uses field and document methods for gathering its data. The main purpose of this paper is to recognize the astronomical designs of Sgrafiatto potteries in the museums of Bonyad Mostazafan via comparing with ASTRONOMICAL SYMBOLS and potteries of other collections.Since in the middle centuries of Islamic period the popularization of astronomy for decorating objects began with CONSTELLATIONs and personification of planets, it reinforced the belief that decorative astronomical objects with talisman power give the person the occult power of stars and protect him from certain diseases, failures and misfortunes.
