The northern
stairs of the Apadana
at Persepolis
show a procession of people bringing tribute to an idealized Achaemenid
king. The reliefs were copied from the eastern
stairs - go there
to read more about it. The quality of the younger reliefs is less than
that of the originals, as you may see for yourself by comparing them. |
