The image showcases Sassanian carvings depicting Hormizd on horseback, dating back to 303-309 BC. These remarkable carvings are located below the Achaemenian Tomb of Xerxes I, which dates from 486-465 BC and is situated in Naqsh-e-Rostam, Iran. The photograph captures the essence of this archaeological site with its outdoor setting and rock-hewn surroundings. The intricate details of the carved figures come to life against the backdrop of weathered stone. As we gaze upon this vertical composition, we can't help but marvel at the skill and craftsmanship that went into creating these masterpieces centuries ago.
