A close-up view of the famous bas-relief on the eastern staircase of the Apadana Palace. The carving depicts a lion biting into the rear of a bull, a symbol often associated with the Spring Equinox and the Persian New Year (Nowruz). Above this dynamic scene is a horizontal band of twelve-petaled lotus flowers, symbolizing purity and rebirth, followed by a register of cypress trees, representing eternity and strength in Achaemenid art.
