Background information
First appearing during the Achaemenid period (550-330 b.c.e) during the splendid reign of Daurius 1st found at a most impressive mountain cliff monument at Behistan.
He was regarded as the god of truth and justice and his very name meant 'light and wisdom'.
The typical imagery of the god is displayed to great effect in the artwork on offer as he is shown flying aloft in a winged disc.
Stylized cuneiform writing can be seen flanking the god in the upper portion of the carving.
