Lion is a repetitive motif in Iranian art especialy in visual ones. According to archaeologists , this animal has been reproducted in Iranian arts and crafts along thousands years. As animal symbol, ston lions are installed on the grave of the Bakhtiari strong and important persons as a sign of courage. This is a fieldwork research on current situation of stone lion cutting as a craft, its workshop and the cultural factors affecting its offer and demand in Bakhtiari territories. The observational and interviewal data which are necessory for an ethnographical approach are collected from the region and are got to analyse and interpret by emphasis on their symbolic and semiotic aspects. The findings show that the symbolism and activities related to stone lion cutting have been affected by (adapted to) the Bakhtiari territories as a natural factor and also by the close relationship between humans and animals in Bakhtiari life style as an effective cultural factor. Furthermore, ston lion plays role in healing and fertility rituals because it has special place in Bakhtiari beliefs.

Ghassan Kanafani (1936-1972) is one of the most famous Palestine romancers who has created different personality types in four romances of “Men in the Sun”, ” All That's Left to You”, ” Returning to Haifa”, “Umme Sad”. Symbolic personality is one of the most important personality types that he has given more attention to, whether feminine or masculine, they have been used abundantly in his four romances. Perhaps it seems that Kanafani’s symbolic view to the feminine personalities has increased the content and technical richness in his romances. But the writer’s insistence on highlighting the symbolic dimension of personalities in the two romances of” All That's Left to You” and “Umme Sad”, is a matter that has made difficulties for real dimensions of these personalities in theoretical and technical points of view and has limited their freedom. The origin of this problem refers to this fact that the writer’s commitment and prejudice to Palestine in these two romances like his other romances, with enthusiasm and sensation follows to propose his idea about Palestine’s daily crisis and problems and their solutions. The symbolic personalities of romances are the tools to propagate and to promote these frequently revolutionary ideas. Therefore the main part of narrative and inherent potentials in these two romances, Instead of dedicating to enhance the natural and humanism dimensions of woman personalities are dedicated to enhance the symbolic and mythological dimensions of personalities in order to convey the message of the romances completely.
