A very exquisite and delicate chest is located under the blue dome of the tomb of Shah Ismail Safavid on his grave. This box of different maps and designs that have been executed with a very diverse and beautiful techniques in a coherent geometric system. Geometric knots are one of the types of designs used on this box that can be seen in all aspects of the work. This research tries to untie all the geometric patterns on this valuable work and find out how to draw it. The aim of the present study is to decode the geometric knots used on the box of Shah Ismail Safavid. The question of this research is, what drawing method did the geometric knots of the mentioned fund follow and what is the secret of its knots? The research method is descriptive-analytical, which is discussed by analyzing a historical work. Data collection is by documentary and field methods. The findings also show that the three types of suns "eight", "ten sharp" and "twelve sharp" can be seen in all aspects of work with different compositions. The "ten sharp" sun is far more useful in performance. The type of division of the general work space as well as the type of tools created with the mentioned nodes are different in all its aspects. Despite the variety and multiplicity of nodes in the work, a special unity and coherence has been created in different parts of the fund. The nodes used on this box When drawing in a quarter circle, their suns are drawn and in the square or rectangular frame, of course, other parts are also drawn based on the type of knot. In general, suns are formed by a five-pointed star or a cracker. The different parts of this box are in the upper and lower rectangular cubes, each of which is like a painting with various motifs such as Islamic, Khatai and inscriptions that are executed in a bed of geometric motifs with special colors and in a way They have exhibited Iranian-Islamic artistic features.
