Document Details : Title: Hidden in Plain Sight Subtitle: The Hebrew Inscription on Ardashir I's Rock Relief at Naqsh-i Rustam Author(s): OVERLAET, Bruno Journal: Iranica Antiqua Volume: 46 Date: 2011 Pages: 331-340 DOI: 10.2143/IA.46.0.2084425 Abstract : The relief of Ardashir I at Naqsh-i Rustam is the first Sasanian investiture scene with the two protagonists on horseback. They are identified by a prominent trilingual inscription on the horses as Ardashir I and Ahura Mazda. A Hebrew inscription remained unobserved since the 19th century, however. It is chiselled on the folds of Ahura Mazda’s tunic. |
