Iran/Esfahan, Safavid Dynasty - The tong bori plasterwork is an art of making hollow spaces in the shape of jugs in plaster. This type of art, which is linked to the outstanding buildings such as the Ali Ghapoo and the Sheikh Safi Eddin Ardabili buildings, reached the culmination of its use in decorating architectural spaces in the Safavid Era. A picturesque example of Tong Bori in this era can specifically be observed in the plasterworks of the sixth stage of the Ali Ghapoo Palace. Generally, there are three views about the function of these decorations. The advocates of one view are of the opinion that these empty spaces were used to keep jugs in them, another group hold the view that they were used just as decorations, and the third group support the view that they were used for musical purposes, and provided an acoustic place for the Iranian musicians to play pleasant songs.
