A detailed view of the stone reliefs on the Apadana Stairway in Persepolis. The image captures the well-preserved limestone carvings arranged in three superimposed registers. Between each row runs a decorative frieze of twelve-petalled lotus flowers, a symbol of peace and friendship in the ancient world. The bottom two registers display lines of dignitaries or guards walking in unison, wearing traditional robes. The upper register is distinct, featuring figures accompanied by horses, likely part of a delegation or royal stable presentation. The depth of the carving and the repetition create a sense of movement and grandeur typical of Achaemenid art.
