The decorative motifs of gravestones reflect cultural, social and religious conditions, which are manifested in the form of different motifs. Studying the visible and hidden qualities of historical cemeteries is very important to understand the worlds and relationships governing past societies. In this research, which was carried out using the field and library data collection methods and written using descriptive-analytical method, the motifs and arrays on the tombstones of the historical cemeteries of Mahabad city were described, classified, designed, documented, and analyzed. The aim of this article is to understand the importance, and political, social and religious status of the city of Mahabad during the Islamic period by relying on written sources and archaeological evidence, including historical cemeteries. So far, no targeted archaeological survey has been conducted to identify and study the material that introduces these works. As a result, the study of the historical cemeteries of this region could depict the importance of this type of works in the archaeological studies of the Islamic period in Mahabad city and especially in Mukuriyan Kurdistan. The tombstones of the historical cemeteries of Mahabad as an example in the form of a statistical community, are comparable in terms of time and morphology with the tombstones of Mukuriyan Kurdistan and other regions of Iran, including Ardabil and Luristan. In this article, we try to answer these questions: Who were the prominent people buried in these cemeteries? And, what role or position did they play in the history of this region? And in the study of the literary inscriptions and the rich engravings of the tombstones of Mahabad cemeteries, in terms of the variety and quality of the works, what important cultural and social results of their era do they tell? The findings of the research indicate that most of the historical tombstones in Mahabad belonged to people with a high social status in the Mukuriyan region. 

Mahabad or formerly Savojbolagh Mukri is one of the most important cities in northwestern Iran in the southern basin of Lake Urmia It was founded by Budaq Sultan, one of the Mukri rulers, during the reign of Shah Suleiman the Safavid and for four centuries was the center of Mukrian province. In the past decades, several copper coins have been found in the city of Mahabad by the local people, which according to the inscription have been minted in this city. In the present article, an attempt is made to investigate the reasons and grounds for minting coins in this city and to show their belonging to the Savojbolagh Mint. It is assumed that the location of Savojbolagh in the communication route between Baghdad and Tabriz has led to the development of the market and its commercial centers and has necessitated the establishment of a multiplication center there. Also, the discovery and identification of copper coins in the city of Mahabad and the surrounding areas indicate that they were minted at the Dar al-Zarb in Savojbolagh. Leading research has been completed by library and field methods and by descriptive and analytical methods. The result of this research confirms that in comparing the multiplied shapes on these coins and other samples, they can be attributed to the reign of the Mukri rulers until the middle of the Qajar period and the reign of Sheikh Ali Khan, Budaq Khan, and Abdullah Khan. The existence of a mint in this city also indicates its political, military, and economic importance in the past centuries.
