Abstract

Previous studies of the Arjan cup have considered its archaeological
context; chronology; and iconography . this study has only zed the ideal aspects and also uisual calture of images of Arjan,s cup by aesthetic view points.
The images portrayed in the Arjan bowl are structurally divided into a series of consecutive episodes, the sequence of which is organized along ideological grounds. This correspondence between content and structure reveals itself first to the viewer across a division of five registers and one rosette separated by concentric circles and intertwined guilloche bands. Carefully distributed among these registers lies a universe of miniature forms inhabited by 112 human figures, 66 animals of 33 species, diverse trees, and various artifacts commissioned the work, from taking infinite care to unify and integrate its decorations (and narratives) within a highly(Neo-Elamite) individual format is valuable.
