Investigating the Identity of Illustrated Dancers on Sassanid Silver Vessels
Author(s):
Abstract:
Sassanid silver vessels are amongst the most important and valuable materials in that period which, despite the researchers’ attention, are still open to discussion. Some of these vessels which have been decorated by “dancers” motives enjoy various illustrations and subjects. The variety of forms, images and objects associated with these motives and the context in which they were illustrated give rise to some comments about identities and attributions of such pictures which is the subject of this paper. The purpose of this research is to investigate the identity of these motives and their attributions based on the hypothesis that it is possible to categorize these vessels into several groups with different identities. To do so, after stating the ideas of researchers about the identities of these pictures and the reasons of other researchers for confirming or rejecting them, the characteristics of 23 vessels in this group are presented in a table. Analyzing them according to their common characteristics with Farr indicators, they can be categorized into four groups and attributed to three identities of Anahita, the priests of Anahita’s temple and non-religious women. The research method is descriptive-analytical and data was gathered using library resources.
