Turquoise Blue Hand Ceramic Abstract Horse Sculpture Decorative Ancient Pixiu Glazed Home Decor
In tradition
Anahita, the Persian goddess associated with water, fertility, and wisdom, was often depicted as riding a chariot pulled by four divine horses. These horses were known as "Zurvan," "Urvakhsha," "Bareshna," and "Sparzaya." Each horse held its significance and symbolism within the mythology surrounding Anahita.
In Shahnameh and other epic poems, which reflect the myths, the life of ancient
In Iranian societies, animals and others are important and go beyond their normal
features and status. Myths are truths of the thoughts and ideas of the first people, which are
mixed with different stories and are expressed symbolically and cryptically. The Persian horse has held a place of great prominence and prestige in Iranian culture throughout its rich history. Symbolising power, loyalty, and grace, these horses played a vital role in the ancient Persian empires. This blog post will take you on a fascinating journey through time, exploring the majestic representation of the Persian horse in Iranian culture, as showcased in art, architecture, and mythology. Extract, classify and analyze the epic and ritual of this animal.
Horses hold a prominent position in Persian literature as well. Numerous Persian poems, stories, and epics introduce horses as pivotal characters. For instance, the Shahnameh, or the Book of Kings, is a Persian epic poem written by the poet Ferdowsi around 1000 CE. It recounts the history and mythology of Iran, from the creation of the world to the Islamic conquest of Persia. This book encompasses several tales about horses, including the story of Rakhsh, the valiant steed of the Iranian epic hero, Rostam.
One of the many remarkable episodes from the Shahnameh, the Persian epic poem, is the battle between the armies of Faramarz, the son of Rostam, and Mihark, a notorious Turanian commander.
In ancient Persian society, horses played a crucial role in various aspects of life, including politics, the military, and culture. Renowned for their strength, grace, and agility, these majestic animals were symbols of power, victory, and divine favour. Horses carried Persian kings during triumphant conquests and significantly influenced the course of history.
Griffin’s role in Iranian artwork can be described in three historical periods:
Prehistoric era, Achaemenid era, and Sassanid era.
Prehistoric era
The patterns acquired from this period are related to the Marlik Hills, Lorestan, and Ziwiyeh areas. There are also artworks with the figure of combination creatures, including the bird’s head and the body of a four-footed animal from the Amlash Hasanlu area. The figure of the Eagle has also been observed on ancient Persia's pottery and cylinder seals. Eagles with widespread wings are painted among the Ilam cylindrical seals and jellies of silk hills in Kashan. In the Shusha tiles (related to the third millennium), the golden medallion is represented by the figure of an eagle with open wings, as well as Lorestan’s bronze works, artefacts near Amlash and Marlik, and Hasanlu’s golden bowl (early 2nd millennium BC) are also decorated with the figure of Eagle. But the oldest Griffin sample in Persian art has been observed on the metal container from the Marlik hill. The history metal cup of Marlik is taken back to three thousand years ago, the end of the second millennium and the early millennium BC. Four gryphons are on the four sides of the upper edges embossed on the Golden Cup. Another example of a Griffin is a small golden jewellery set of eight centimetres in height, derived from the Ziwiyeh of Kurdistan, dating back to the fifth century BC.
Height approx. 28 cm, 15 x 21 cm.
