metadata.value: The Seljuk period (5th–6th Centuries CE) is one of the most important historical periods of
  Islamic Iran in various arts formed and developed in accordance with Islamic beliefs. Bricklaying
  decoration is one of the most valuable types of Persian Architectural decorations, and
  The Seljuk period is the era of extraordinary development and progress of this art and the ‘Taj
  Al-Molk’ Dome of the Isfahan Grand Mosque is known as its masterpiece. In fact, the flourishing
  of bricklaying decoration and its relationship to Seljuk’s cultural and religious beliefs in
  the sphere of aesthetics is the subject of this article. Historical, descriptive-analytical methods
  have been used to investigate historical documents and field observation. The result shows
  the cultural aspects that affect the artists’ extraordinary use of decorating elements in Seljuk
  architecture. A confirmation of a ‘Philosophy of Decoration’ based on a common language in
  the aesthetic perception of pure Islamic-Iranian art as could see in ‘Taj Al-Molk’ Dome with
  the usage of highly evolved decorative elements such as Bricklaying tiles, Geometric patterns,
  and Kufic scripts. Muslim artists used decoration as a decisive role in connecting the material
  world (physical world) to the world of ideas in order to express their thoughts and mystical
  and religious ideals. With the help of elements such as rhythm, coordination, harmony, balance,
  etc., they realize their philosophical principles in action and create a new philosophy
  that transforms the material into a visualization of unity in multiplicity, as a major ideal of the
  “Philosophy of decoration”. A manifestation of the attributes of the Only God, who shaped the
  world being, as the Source of beauty.
