Abstract :
One of the objects recovered by David Stronach at Tall-i Takht (Pasargadae), was a handsome greenstone lid with a finally carved rosette design which was made of a grey-green schist with a pale, almost powdery luminiscence on the surface. This article discusses its use, appearance and context of this particular object.
