Damaged relief of Shapur II |
Naqš-i
Rustam:
archaeological site in Fars (Iran), best known for its Achaemenid
tombs
and Sasanian
rock reliefs.
Relief of Shapur II
Once, there was a relief of a seated king Shapur II (309-379) and
several
courtiers between the relief of
Hormizd II and Achaemenid
tomb II. It is
very damaged, but you can still discern the Sasanian king, seated and seen frontally,
and one or two figures to his right (if you can not recognize it, look here).
The composition must have resembled the sixth
relief of Bishapur.
