A detail shot focusing on the two heavily damaged bull sculptures at Persepolis. These statues, once part of the grand gateways, are now fragmented and pieced together. The textures of the eroded stone tell a story of millennia, capturing the haunting beauty of what remains from the Achaemenid Empire’s ceremonial capital.
