The Apadana Stone Relief - Persian Archers (Immortal)

Persepolis, Iran

Persian Archers (Immortal Soldiers), north stairs of the Apadana.

The Apadana or Audience Hall of Persepolis belongs to the oldest building phase of the palace complex, the grand design by Darius I the Great (522-486).
On this place, the great king received the tribute from all the nations in the Achaemenid Empire, and gave presents in return.

Excellent detail, and I like the composition with that strong diagonal running through the frame. V.
