The book ‌Zafarnameh Teymouri at the request of Shahrokhchr('39')s son - Ibrahim ‌Sultan- ‌ was written by Sharaf al-Din Ali ‌yazdi, which is a chapter on the life, campaigns and conquests of Timur Gurkhani and It has always been considered by painters in schools such as Shiraz school in 839 AH and Herat school in 872 AH. In fact, the art of painting is a reflection of the various arts and crafts of its period. Because painters have always used human-made objects, such as metal tools, to convey the meaning of their subject matter, including war and battle, as well as all the elements of nature, man-made objects. Therefore, the works of art of each historical period are a summary of the worldview of artists and their perceptions of existence and its surroundings. And genealogy is a method that examines phenomena in their historical evolution and, by identifying the "historical" formulations of phenomena, creates an "appropriate" critical position for understanding them. The present study has been attempting to rely on the Genealogy approach, to identify of  metal warfare tools and to formulate them in the war illustrations of the Shiraz and Herat Teymouri schools and to answer this question: what is the basis of the physical structure and functional diversity of the metal tools depicted in the painting of the Timurid period based on the book of Zafarnameh Yazdi? Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze, classify and genealogy of Timurid metal tools in painting from their physical and functional aspects. Finds of this study, which was conducted in a historical way the genealogical approach, states that the genealogical approach, which is the historical view of the phenomenon under study, can be of great help in understanding the tools of the Timurid war. All metal warfare tools have been used for combat and the authority of the Timurid government, which has been modified for them as a variable over time. In terms of shape, the software can probably be a bug that was used in the past and even in later centuries with little modification.
