<b>An Artistic Study Of Several Crenellation Patterns Unearthed In Central Asia</b>

Ancient Central Asia was connected with Eurasia and was the most important transportation hub in the middle section of the Silk Road. The cultures of West Asia, South Asia, Persia, India and China met here, and collided with the spark of art. The crenellation pattern is a unique oriental pattern, and it is also one of the important patterns in the pattern modeling system of the Silk Road. Its development and evolution bear the alternation, spread and blending of civilizations, and its roots can be traced back to the bronze civilization and even more distant civilization periods. Taking the crenellation patterns unearthed in Central Asia as an example, this paper uses the method of archaeological typology, and finds that the vast Central Asia including BMAC is the key area for the innovation and development of crenellation patterns. From the macroscopic geographical point of view, this paper discusses the origin, circulation and some forms of crenellation patterns in development and evolution. By analyzing and citing typical patterns, it aims to explore their diversity and regularity in artistic modeling, and provides new thinking for deeply exploring the cultural, iconographic and artistic significance of crenellation pattern.
