Artist's Description
Persian Sphinxes. Palace of Darius, Susa, Persian Empire. C. 500 BC.
Detail of the glazed brick sphinxes in one of the friezes of the palace of Darius I in Susa. The relief of enameled, polychrome bricks shows a pair of winged lions with bearded human heads sit facing each other, their heads turned backward, on a blue-green ground. The winged disc of Ahura-Mazda hovers above them. This complex traditional iconography is rendered in a pure Persian style.
Discovered in the north-east corner of the central court of Darius's palace in Susa, unlike friezes of archers or lions, this scene represented a single element in a series of individual panels. It was not set into the wall itself, but rather was applied to some projecting feature (perhaps a pilaster of the same width), and placed in a prominent position, such as in a niche or above a door.
The arrangement of the two scenes facing each other and their regular edge indicate that these were free-standing panel...
About Weston Westmoreland
Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I have concentrated my efforts in Cave Art and Ancient Civilizations. I also enjoy creating panoramic compositions... But not just... Here you will find landmarks, landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images and they are for the most part unique. W. W.
