A detail shot of a historical stone inscription located on the stairway of the Apadana Palace. The central panel is intricately bordered by rosettes of twelve-petaled lotus flowers, symbolizing purity and peace in Achaemenid art. To the immediate left and right, outside the floral frame, are bas-reliefs of soldiers (Immortals), standing guard in profile. This architectural masterpiece highlights the precision of ancient stone masonry and the grandeur of the ceremonial capital.
