  The aim of the present study is to discover the relationship between the Alamat (as an example of Iranian-Islamic metal handicrafts) and the religious visual arts in recent years. The Toogh (collar) has long been one of the special tools for mourning the Seyyed al-shohada in Iranian Islamic culture and civilization. In the ninth and tenth centuries AH, we can see the Toogh in Iranian paintings. Later in the Pahlavi era, it was so prominent in the paintings of the Saqakhaneh school as an element of the folkloric art of the Iranian people. But after the Islamic Revolution of Iran, especially in recent years, we can see the Alamat in the drawings of various sub-branches of visual communication (such as posters, illustration, logos, etc.), paintings, decoration, jewelry designs and fashion and clothing.The present study tries to answer questions such as how the Alamat is presented in these art works and the semantics of the different forms of these symbols in combination with other works of visual arts.The data is collected through library and field research method and the result shows that in recent years, Ashura symbols have had some changes, in addition to their main uses (mourning tools), and have taken on new functions and are more prominent in religious graphics than other items. In addition, it has been one of the main elements in designing religious jewelry called "religious plaque" and is generally considered as one of the main symbols of Shiite art in the world.
