Palace Of Darius - The Doorframes

Persepolis, Iran

On the eastern and western doorjambs there are scenes showing the king in formal dress leaving the palace, followed by two attendants.

The Tachara or Palace of Darius (Tachara of Darius, Mirror Hall) is one of the interior Persepolis Palaces. The meaning in olden Persian is wintry home.
The palace is made of gray stone. It was built by Darius I and was completed after his death in 486 by his son and successor Xerxes I.
