چکیده:
This study aims to investigate the studies done on the dragons in Iranian Islamic art, especially the signs of Ashura. On both blades of Togh, you can see a less known element, i.e. dragon’s heads.These heads have been considered as symbols of the Geniis’ army who asked Imam Hussein to let them enter the battlefield on the day of Ashura but he did not agree (as a symbol of good and help)Others consider them as the symbol of the punishment of the oppressors caught in the fires of hell and "Ghashiyah snake”)as a symbol of evil). But according to the ancient myths of Iran and old paintings, the dragon is a dual symbol of both the evil of drought and ugly temperament Like Zahak's shoulder snakes and a symbol of the life tree’s guardian and precious treasures. Since the Agh-e Quyunlus era, Togh has been used in Iran but since the Safavid period and after that, Shiites have lauded it as a special mourning tool for Sayyid al-Shuhada.This study shows that this dragon can indirectly refer to the lack of water, the martyrdom of Imam and his companions while they were thirsty or a symbol of the guards, a cypress (freedom) and hidden treasure of the universe. The research method is descriptive-analytical and its basic questions are as follows1. What does the dragon on the Ashura symbol stands for?2. How has the torpedo mouth been evolved?

The present research shows that the presence of dragons on the Togh can be an indirect reference to the lack of water and the martyrdom of the Imam and his companions at the height of thirst, or a symbol of the guardians of the tree of life and the hidden treasure of the world of meaning.
