A vase with flowers

Since ancient times, the tree of life or the motif of a vase with flowers was endowed with sacred properties. In Zoroastrianism, the motif of a vessel with a plant growing out of it acquires cosmological meaning, symbolising Lake Vourakasha, a symbol of all living things (the embodiment of a vessel, water) and the tree of life, Haoma, an all-healing tree with seeds of all plants of the world. Over time, the motif of a vase with flowers gradually lost its original meaning, becoming a widespread decorative motif whose multifaceted symbolism comes down to the idea of beauty of the real world.
