Framed Print of Drawing of Sasanian rock relief: Ardashir I (r)
Drawing of Sasanian rock relief: Ardashir I (r. A.D. 224-241) and the Zoroastrian divinity Ohrmazd Ahura Mazda at Naqsh-i Rustam, southern Iran ca. A.D. 1812 Lutf-'Ali Shirazi This drawing of a Sasanian rock relief at Naqsh-i Rustam, Iran, depicts the investiture of Ardashir I (r. 224-241), who receives the ring of office from Ahura Mazda, the supreme Zoroastrian god. Both king and god are on horseback; the god wears a caftan, the prestigious riding costume of the Sasanian period, and his fan-bearer stands behind him. The horses trample the bodies of the last Parthian king, Ardavan, and the Zoroastrian evil spirit Ahriman. The drawing is one of several in the Metropolitan's collection made by an Iranian artist Lutf Ali Khan (1797-1869) in 1860 (1998.6.1; 1998.6.2; 1998.6.4): they are comparable to renderings of Sasanian carved and rock monuments produced by early European travelers to Iran..
