Abstract

Autonomy and authority are two factors in Iran that has brought wealth and prosperity to the governmental treasury with a great amount of jewels, precious stones and coins in different periods. Even at the time of weak and incompetent rulers, such jewels and coins were to such an extent that they amazed viewers and travelers having them admire and feel astonished. Such wealth and property in the Iranian courts have always accounted for authority, power and financial backing of the state. Hence, the Iranian have attempted to preserve and protect their treasures. The Treasury of National Jewels of Iran is an exhibition of priceless, sparkling jewels collected during different eras, particularly the Qajar dynasty, attracting any viewer’ s eyes by its glory and beauty. The most exquisite objects in this treasury include swords studded with jewels each with surprising attractiveness. The present research is carried out by using library sources and through observing the real objects. It aims to examine six swords and attempts to study their artistic and symbolic features as well as to answer the following question: Were these swords with such decorated and aristocratic features been used in battles or they have just been a symbol of power and glory of rulers and their kingship? The results indicate that the swords of this era are of extraordinary value and preciousness made by the craftsmen as well as enjoying ritual symbols relating invocations and prayers all derived from the religious beliefs, particularly those of the Shiites.
