Zoroastrian Art

Zoroastrian art reflects the ancient religion’s emphasis on divine light, cosmic order, and moral dualism. It includes elaborate fire temples, where fire symbolizes purity and truth, and intricate metalwork, textiles, and calligraphy. Symbolic motifs like the winged horse (aša) and fire altars showcase spiritual themes. Art often combines Persian, Mesopotamian, and later influences, emphasizing harmony and righteousness. While little ancient Zoroastrian art survives today, modern pieces continue to express its heritage through religious rituals and crafts that highlight purity, spiritual transcendence, and reverence for creation.
