The Apadana Stone Relief

Persepolis, Iran

Procession of conquered people offering tribute to the Achaemenid king, Darius the Great, bas-relief, north stairs.

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.
A courtier leads the first delegate of every delegation by the hand.

The stones on top of the wall look impressively large but the wall itself appears to be carved from a continuous stone. BV
