Artist's Description
Persian Griffon Head Frieze from Susa. C. 500 BC.
Stuccoed mythological, geometrical and vegetal pattern frieze from the Apadana in the Palace of Darius the Great in Suse, one of the capitals of the Achaemenid Empire. The frieze shows the heads of Persian horned lions or griffons above romboidal patterns surrounding lotus and palmette figures.
This is a rectangular reconstruction of a fragment that survived the destruction of Suse and Persepolis by Alexander the Great in 330 BC and which can be found in the Louvre Museum.
The Susa to which this tile belongs was one of the capitals of the Achaemenid Empire. It was constructed at the same time as Persepolis and the favorite capital of king Darius I. The palace was captured and plundered by Alexander the Great in December 330 BC.
Susa, however, had belonged to other empires before and after and has been uninterruptedly inhabited since before 4000 BC. One of the oldest cities in Mesopotamia.
