Abstract :
The plateau of Iran, an ancient landmark dating back to
7000 years ago, has realized various civilizations, each
of which has had its unique art, culture, and therapies.
Despite the remarkable geographical distribution of Iran
and the multiplicity of its civilization, many aspects have
remained neglected. Hence, investigation and presentation
of the mentioned aspects is of great value and can shed
more light on the cultural roots of these civilizations.
The first image demonstrating a woman during her
vaginal delivery has been carved on a hair pin, which is
now kept in the Louvre Museum (Figure 1). According to
the specifications presented by the experts of the museum
and provided on the Louvre Museum official website, the
mentioned hair pin belongs to the Lorestan civilization and
dates back to 700 BC.1
Regrettably, no further archeological
information is available regarding this hair pin; however,
investigation of its image can reveal significant cultural and
therapeutic aspects in this regard.
