Tombstones decorations have solid details in Iranian historic cemeteries. The Harounie of Tous Collection contains monuments from the Timurid period to the Qajar era, decorated with various inscriptions and designs. In this research, 34 gravestones were selected, 10 of which were selected by a purposeful method because of their similarity in the motif and design. The purpose of this research is to study the structure, inscriptions and graffiti designs. This paper seeks to answer this question, what is the theme, the form of inscriptions and motifs in the Tombstones of the Harounie Collection? The research method is descriptive-analytic and data collection is based on library information, documentation and field studies. The findings of the article show that the gravestones motives are a distinctive and dominant pattern on their design and decoration and evidence of the thought, belief and culture of the survivors and reflection of the Shia atmosphere of that era. The used themes are primarily the verses, the names of God, the poems in the description of the parting and condemnation of the world, which refer to the eternal existence of the Most Compassionate God and the unsteadiness of man. The inscriptions are written with the Taliq. Sols and Nastaaliq, all of which demand forgiveness from God’s mercy, according to the contents of the writings and plants.
