Abstract:
Based on archaeological findings, glazed bricks excavated from ancient Elamite sites and neighboring civilizations feature various mythological decorations, among which the winged human figure is one of the most common motifs. Due to the abundance and frequency of such motifs in the architectural structures of the excavated sites, it is necessary to study and examine the various archaeological dimensions of this type of decoration. According to archaeological reports, during the second half of the second millennium BCE, many glazed bricks were discovered in various buildings in the southern and southwestern regions of Iran, as well as some neighboring sites in northwestern Iran, through archaeological excavations. Therefore, due to the importance of these types of artifacts and their decorative motifs, the process of studying and examining the excavated artifacts at the ancient Qalaichi site in Bukan is addressed in this writing.
