EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene of divine conflict, featuring Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu locked in an intense dispute over the fate of the world. The image is a copy of a frieze from Persepolis, skillfully captured by the French School in the 19th century. In this depiction, we witness two powerful figures engaged in an eternal struggle - twins and brothers representing opposing forces within Zoroastrianism. Ahura Mazda embodies goodness and light, while Angra Mainyu personifies evil and darkness. Their clash symbolizes the ongoing battle between good and evil that has fascinated ancient religions for centuries. The intricate details of this artwork transport us to ancient Persia, where divinities held immense significance in shaping people's beliefs. As we delve into this visual narrative, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that Iran possesses.
