چکیده:
So far, few theoretical studies and art reviews have been conducted on animal designs, and no such research has been done on Jiroft's civilization. The reason for choosing this civilization is its
importance in pre-Iranian art, as well as the health and availability of the works of this civilization
period. This study tried to study motifs, to recognize the origin and meaning of them, to trace the
cultural influences of their respective civilizations, and to analyze their symbolic aspects. The main
question of this research is what kind of symbols and signs within the field of animal drawings are
used in the works of Jiroft civilization, and what concepts and themes they represent. The purpose
of this study is to achieve a more cognitive understanding of the symbolic aspects of animal
designs of the works of Jiroft civilization. This study was conducted descriptively and analytically
using library resources. In this study, ten works found in Jiroft civilization were investigated, and
the results showed that in Jiroft containers, motifs represent a man of war with the hard nature of
southeastern Iran. In these designs, the notion of duality, or dualism, and dual composition are very evident, which are signs of dual similarities and an opposite duality. These two-dimensional
repetitions with the same materials represent an emphasis on a symbolic concept such as power or
importance to them.

Perhaps the presence of precious stones in some parts of the body or clothing and the presence of a necklace embroidered with turquoise had a decorative or magical aspect in a geometric way and was used as a spell to protect humans in controlling snakes and overthrowing leopards; because this work is still done among the people of the Jiroft region (Majidzadeh, 2004: 2-3).
In general, the symbols used in the works of Jiroft civilization refer to the concept of power, the struggle for survival, protection and rule, the dominance of nature, and fertility and blessing.
By studying the table below we can conclude that the symbols used in the works of Jiroft civilization are all related to nature and power and in a way emphasize concepts such as fertility, power, monarchy and protection.
