The Apadana Stone Relief - The Scythians

Persepolis, Iran

The Scythians, "nomads with pointed hats".

The northern stairs of the Apadana at Persepolis show a procession of people bringing tribute to the Achaemenid king, Darius the Great.
The stone Reliefs depict twenty-three gift-bearing delegations each in its own national dress, and separated from the next by a cypress tree, each group being led towards the central panel.
