The Susa terracotta cup is a cup full of symbolism and mystery
Susa terracotta cup
The first thing discovered in this work fascinates the audience . After the coordination and appropriateness of the patterns and the shape of this cup, there is a spherical goat horn in the center of the patterns .
Why goat horn???!!!!
Wherever there are goats in nature, there must be plants on the banks of the river !!!
Therefore, in Iranian belief, the goat became a symbol of water and the growth of plants !
On the other hand, the circular shape of the goat's horn is very similar to the crescent moon !!!
The moon is a symbol of rain ! Because the moon is in the sky and the rain falls from the sky ( when there is no sun ) .
So again, a relationship was found between the shape of the goat's horns and the rain !!!
Susa Cup
This trophy belongs to the Elamites in the city of Shush in the current province of Khuzestan !
The Elamites, with water symbols carved on this cup, were asking their god for rain and the growth of plants..
Among the horns of the goat, the wavy lines are a symbol of flowing water and the growth of plants .
