Document Details : Title: The Sasanian Rock Relief of Bahram II at Guyum (Fars, Iran) Author(s): HAERINCK, Ernie , OVERLAET, Bruno Journal: Iranica Antiqua Volume: 44 Date: 2009 Pages: 531-558 DOI: 10.2143/IA.44.0.2034387 Abstract : The rock carving at Guyum is known since the early 20th century but did not receive full attention yet. Situated to the north of Shiraz, it can be attributed to the reign of the Sasanian king Bahram II. The panel depicts the standing king Bahram II in full, in a venerating position with bent forefinger and holding a sword with his left hand. A detailed discussion is presented as well as several previously unpublished photographs. |
