Archaeology
[edit | edit source]The place is notable for being the site of a Sasanian rock relief made during the reign of king (shah) Bahram II (r. 274–293).[7] The relief portrays him as a hunter who has slain a lion while throwing his sword at another.[7] His wife is holding his right hand in a signal of safeguard, while the high priest Kartir and another figure, most likely a prince, are watching.[7] The scenery has been the subject of several symbolic and metaphorical meanings, though it is most likely supposed to portray a simple royal display of bravery during a real-life hunt.[7] An inscription of Kartir is underneath the relief.[7]
