Sasanian Wall panel, Ctesiphon


Wall panel with wings and a Pahlavi device encircled by pearls; Sasanian, Ctesiphon, 6th A.D.

گچبری دیواری ساسانی که در کاخ تیسفون، پایتخت شاهنشاهی ساسانیان کار شده بود. ساخته شده در قرن ششم مسیحی که اکنون در موزه متروپولیتن نیویورک نگهداری میشود. البته از این طرح گچبری، چند نمونه دیگر که همه به همین شکل و مربوط به تیسفون میباشند، در موزه های مختلف جهان پیدا میشود.
آرم دانشگاه تهران که توسط آقای دکتر محسن مقدم طراحی شده بود، از همین گچبری الهام گرفته است.

Sasanian Wall panel, Ctesiphon 6th A.D.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art


Beginning in the 5th century, monograms became popular motifs used in the mold-made stucco wall panels that decorated the palaces and houses of the Sasanian elite, and many had symbolic meanings. This panel from the iwan (vaulted hall) of a large house at Umm ez-Za’tir, near the Taq-i Kisra at Ctesiphon, features a group of letters in the Persian script and a lunar crescent above symmetrical feathered wings and encircled by pearls: the motif very likely had protective significance. Half palmettes in the corners would have formed a complete design when this panel was placed within an arrangement with other similar ones. An identical panel is in Berlin in the Museum für Islamische Kunst, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. more

In the Greek sources it appears as Ktēsiphôn, in Latin Ctesiphon/Ctesifon from the Greek and T(h)esifon or Et(h)esifon, reproducing lo­cal forms. In the Aramaic Talmud (ʾ)qṭyspwn (in Syriac qṭyspwn) occurs. From Iranian texts of the Sasanian period Manichean Parthian tyspwn (or *tysfwn; Henning, pp. 943-44), Pahlavi tyspwn, and Christian Sogdian tyspwn (Sims-Williams, pp. 144, 147-49; Yoshida) are attested. In Arabic texts the name is usually Ṭaysafūn. According to Yāqūt (III, p. 570, IV, p. 446), quoting Ḥamza, the original form was Ṭūsfūn or Tūsfūn, which was arabicized as Ṭaysafūn...
