The term “Shirvani-poosh” refers to a type of covering specifically designed for the shrine enclosure, which exclusively covers the ceiling of the tomb chamber. This study aims to recover the design and patterns of a number of shirvani-poosh covers associated with the second shrine enclosure of Imam Reza, known as the Shrine of Shah Sultan Husayn Safavid. This article adopts a historical and descriptive-analytical approach, relying on documentary and field studies based on note-taking and visual analysis. Sampling was conducted purposefully, and the examination of seven shirvani-poosh covers from the Qajar era related to this shrine revealed the following: The design in two of the covers is based on reflective (mirror-like) symmetry, while in the other five, it relies on repetitive patterns across the surface, either through grid-like framing, linear repeats (moharramat), or simple repetition (vagireh-style). Except for one case, which is devoid of patterns (moharramat shirvani-poosh), plant motifs play a significant role in the decorative arrangements. Only one cover features an animal motif, specifically a peacock. Overall, the principle of repetition—ranging from axial symmetry to countless repetitions across the surface in the vagireh style—emerges as the fundamental decorative feature of the analyzed shirvani-poosh covers in the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza, with most examples relying heavily on repetitive plant motifs.
