چکیده:
The appearance of animal images on the archaeological remains is always
considered as an evidence to determine their natural living and their role in
human's cultural and ritual life. Animal imagery is found in every medium of
art in the Proto Elamite period include stone statuette, pottery, metalwork
and finally seal impressions. The glyptic art and pottery through their
diversity and the nature of their symbols provide the researchers with the
basic information with which to piece together the iconography and the social
and economy history of the Proto Elamite period. This paper examines
serpent, turtle and feline imageries and related pastiches on two media at
Tepe Sofalin, including seal impressions and pottery fragments
