The Apadana Stone Relief - The Lydian Delegation

Persepolis, Iran

Procession of conquered people offering tribute to the king, bas-relief, north stairs.
The Lydians bring vases, bowls, armlets, and a two-horsed chariot.

Darius the Great built the greatest palace at Persepolis on the western side. This palace was called the Apadana and was used for official audiences.
The stone reliefs depict twenty-three gift-bearing delegations each in its own national dress, and separated from the next by a cypress tree.
