The bronze bowl filled with celestial patterns from the Iron Age culture of Lorestan has been obtained. All previous research interpreted this object within the context of mythological themes of ancient Semitic cultures. In the present study, for the first time, the central patterns of the bowl have been analyzed within the framework of Hindu-Aryan religious and mythological concepts. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the research data were collected from museum and library sources. According to the findings of the research, the central patterns of the bowl depict the scene of the mythological event of the death of Keyumars in the era of the balance and his transformation into the first ruler of the Iron Age. The celestial face of the balance on the center of the bowl represents a symbolic portrayal of the dominance of the era of the balance over the material world. The celestial face of the goat and the balance on the middle of the bowl are also linked to the narrative of the death of Keyumars. The conjunction of the two planets Jupiter and Saturn in the celestial image of the balance and the goat caused the death of Keyumars at the beginning of the era of the balance. On the bowl, Keyumars is depicted as a celestial hunter standing on the pole of the sky in the center of the bowl, guarding the gateway to paradise. The sun and moon on sections 1 and 5 of the bowl symbolize the beginning of the era of synthesis and the balance of the forces of light and darkness in the era of the balance. Keyumars, through the symmetry of his central body on the cosmic balance scale, embodies the manifestation of "the king-priest of justice." He also marks the cosmic cycles on the pole of the sky, enabling the transition from one cycle of manifestation to another. He stands on the axis of the cosmic balance like a mediator between earth and sky, a bridge between the world of gods and humans. With the symmetry of the pole with the law of existence and Keyumars' law on the center of the wheel, he is the legislator of the living, who governs the cosmic order in the world. Therefore, he is both the legislator of the living and the judge of the dead in the Iron Age, marking the cosmic cycles and decreeing the law of existence upon humanity. Admittedly, a sect called "Keyumarsiyeh" existed in ancient Iran. Therefore, the bowl can be attributed to such a sect. The portrayals of Keyumars on other artifacts from Lorestan are in the form of a man holding two mountain goats, symbolizing the celestial face of the goat at the center of the bowl on both sides. The symmetrical and balanced form of the two animals on the sides of Keyumars signifies the balance of the forces of light and darkness in the era of the balance.
