Abstract

The Islamic period inscriptions are valuable sources for religious, political, and social thoughts of Islamic periodical architects and artists, in a way that provides valuable information about religious, social and cultural situations of their time. Yazd Mosque is one of the magnificent monuments of the Islamic period of Iran that has been the virtuousness place for the artists of this country during various Islamic periods. In the present article, the inscriptions of this mosque are examined for Aesthetics and Symbolism. Decorative motifs of inscriptions were identified and extracted using software and analyzed their symbolic concepts. The study on these inscriptions shows that they have been well favored, so that within themselves they conceal valuable concepts of religious thought and express them with symbolic language. In most of the inscriptions, a common and special way for making space is used, as a grid of Geometric patterns that are themselves enclosed by various Abstract Motifs in different size. Among the decorative motifs of the inscription in this mosque, the Shamseh and circle motifs have particular importance. The combination of geometric shapes along with various types of Shamseh arouses a particular spiritual environment, and the artist, using their combination, expresses their religious beliefs. In some cases, there is a particular style in the creation of inscriptions, including the artist’ s interest in creating a network of Geometric patterns in the center of the motifs, that Ali and Mohammad names have been accommodated with them. The east portal inscriptions are a sample of these designs. There are certain concepts in applying the forms of geometric designs and their frequency, for example, can be pointed to using of eight blades Shamseh and eight time repeat of different Geometric patterns, which probably express certain religious beliefs, including the existence of eight Paradise or the presence of the eight angels carrying the Divine Throne.
