Document Details : Title: Icons of dominion Subtitle: Review scenes at Til Barsip and Persepolis Author(s): STRONACH, David Journal: Iranica Antiqua Volume: 37 Date: 2002 Pages: 373-402 DOI: 10.2143/IA.37.0.130 Abstract : This paper draws attention to the largely neglected correspondence that can be detected between the audience scenes (or, perhaps better, the review scenes) that occur on the one hand in wall paintings from the Neo-Assyrian palace at Til Barsip and on the other hand in carved stone reliefs from the Apadana at Persepolis. In as much as these clearly related scenes are separated by a chronological gap of more than two hundred years and by a geographical distance of sixteen hundred kilometers, this essay seeks to explore some of the conceivable mechanisms behind this singular circumstance. |
