Abstract

In ancient times, Symbolic Figures and badges in addition to decorative aspects represented important issues regarding culture, art and even social structures of a state and country. In the Sassanid period, Symbolic Figures (patterns) also boomed with respect to the interfusion of religion and politics, so that some examples of these Symbolic Figures can be seen in most of the artworks remained of the Sassanid period. The Stucco art during the Sassanid era was one of the most developed arts which has reached to the peak of its maturity in this period compared to the preceding periods and witnessed its widespread use in various symbolic forms in Sassanid buildings and palaces. The study of symbolic Plant Figures of the Sassanid period is a necessity that has unfortunately not been studied independently and extensively so far. With respect to the object of study, the present research is of a fundamental type and with respect to its nature and methodology it is a historical study. The result of this research indicate that most of the symbolic motifs (patterns) found in the Sassanid Stuccos have a religious origin; although these figures have been depicted in the form of numerous and diverse Plant Figures, each of them are considered as a symbol of religious beliefs. Grapes and the tree of life are among the symbols that symbolize fertility, blessing and immortality in Iran and have always been seen in the Stucco works during this period; also, the lotus figures represents one of the deities in Mazdisna religion.
