This study has been done regarding the relative scientific-research vacuum about identifying and investigating the used symbols on the potteries of ancient and historical regions of Persian civilization and in order to find the answer for the following question: what are the similarities between the symbols used in the potteries of different regions in a historical period with regard to their drawing and the meaning behind their application in the containers. This study aims to explore visually and conceptually the human and animal symbols which are present in the discovered potteries in three regions of Fars’ Tal Bakun, Kashan’s Sialk hills and Nahavand’s Gian hills with a comparative approach. This research uses descriptive-analytical method and its data has been gathered via field and library studies. The result of this study is analytical representation of points of similarity and difference in the common symbols of these three regions which show that, considering the drawing style, the symbols on the potteries of Tal Bakun are very complex, variegated and masterly whereas the symbols on the potteries of Sialk hills are close to nature. Also, the symbols on the potteries of Gian hills are between the symbols of Sialk and Bakun and, with regard to meaning, most symbols are rooted in the culture and civilization of Persian people. Generally speaking, the symbols used on the potteries of the three regions, in spite of their geographical distance, have many similarities regarding the style of drawing and their meaning.
