Manichean is a religion with many written
works and few remaning visual resources or
art works. Although the manichean works of
art are scarce in number, they are important
and noteworthy works. Through obtaining
adequate information about manichean
beliefs and analysing manichean art, it is
possible to observe the reflection of main
ideas of the religion in its art. Some of the
principal elements of the manichean beliefs
are obviously visible in manichen art. Art
works of the mentioned religion, as any other
art work, have been created upon a specific
idea to express particular thoughts and
impressions, and decoding and interpreting
them based on manichean doctrine to find the
ideas behind them is a fundamental work in
order to understanding manichean art.
