Abstract
Beauty has always been considered as one of the most important dimensions of art and architecture throughout history, and real decoration has also been used as one of the methods of creating beauty in Iranian architecture. Despite the possibility of reaching human written opinions about beauty and decoration, opinions about the philosophy and criterion of the origin of beauty are expressed differently. Decorating in Islamic art is one of the most important and most effective unifying elements. Decoration in Islamic architecture and art, especially in schools, has a special role. This paper tries to analyze the adaptive decorations of Husaynya-school and traditional schools of Shiraz during Qajar period using a descriptive-analytical method and with library and field studies. The study of Husayn-Moshir and Qavam School and Moghimiyeh and Nezamiyeh schools have been analyzed. Research findings show that Husseinieh inscriptions - Qajar schools differ in terms of themes from Qajar schools, but there are no significant differences in other decorations.
An Urartian cuneiform rock inscription was reported in March 2021 in Gharejelou, close to Shahverdi Gheshlagh village, Eastern Azerbaijan Province, Iran. This site has been previously surveyed and also the legal excavations took place. The epigraphy of the inscription belongs to the first years ofUrartian reign and the last half of it. As the close by Urartian inscriptions belong to Argishti II it is possible that this inscription as well was written in the same era. The inscription is badly damaged mainly by sediment. The damages make the actual reading of the inscription almost impossible. This contribution is also presented at the Conference of Van Museum as Urartu and Beyond and will be published in the conference book.
