GOLDEN STONE LION

From the Ilkhanate period onward, all tombstones were

adorned, with decorations and patterns reflecting the

profession of the deceased. One notable type of decoration

featured the stone lion, a symbol of courage and bravery,

which was placed on the graves of individuals who

demonstrated valor or sacrificed their lives, such as warlords

and warriors. Consequently, when a hero or warrior passed

away, an ordinary tombstone was not used; instead, a

carved stone ram was often placed at their grave, signifying

that the individual was a hero and a person of great

strength.

Stone lions continue to be crafted in the Bakhtiari regions for

placement in graves; however, these lions differ significantly

from the traditional Bard Shirs. Contemporary stone lions are

sculpted from granite, marble, and industrial limestone,

resembling Roman lions more closely.
