Plaster cast from Persepolis
Légende
Plaster cast from Persepolis. The image opposite is made from part of one side of a huge doorway to a palace built between 470-450 BC. It shows the king sitting on a throne and holding a sceptre and lotus flower. An attendant stands behind and above a richly decorated canopy. The throne is supported by a huge platform with lion's paws and three rows of figures. The people wear different costumes from across the Persian Empire / which stretched from Libya to India.
