The study of the earthenwares of Iran shows the people’s belief and introduce their
exchange of cultures and immigration. It’s evident that we should think profoundly about
some subcultures in Iranian peoples inorder to determine the visible and hidden aspects
of the earthenware.
This paper introduces the earthenwares of Gohartape region of Behshahr (Mazandaran
Province) that today is recorded as an ancient region in the organization of cultural
heritage of the country.
The study of archeology shows the ancientness of 7000 years civilization in this region
and clears the findings of metal to II iron periods (the middle of lunar second millenium).
The earthwares have outstanding fineness, beauty and proportion and have been
determined that their dimension and size consisted of golden ratios. The results show
that the beautiful earthenware unwantedly followed some rules of golden ratios. Some of
the earthenware with the design of beak-like water shed that mainly are affected by beak
or bill of fish-eating birds, have fine nodes and coordinate with and dimensions of
the golden ratios.
According to the result of archeologist’s researches, these earthenwares are applied in
the burial ceremonies of famous people. In addition, in designing of some earthenwares,
the shape of their’s frames awarely is affected by the figures of the birds. The researches
also show that some of the earthen works prpotions don’t have golden ratios or delicacy
and fineness due to their aboundance production.
