EDITORS COMMENTS
This color print showcases the magnificent lion frieze from King Darius' winter palace at Susa, Iran. Created between 1933 and 1934, this enamelled tile masterpiece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Persia in the early 20th century. The image captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of each tile, bringing to life the majestic lions that adorn this ancient Persian artwork. The lions, symbolizing strength and power, are depicted with remarkable precision and grace. Located in Khuzestan province, Susa was once an important city in ancient Persia. This lion frieze is a significant archaeological find that provides valuable insights into the reign of Darius I (Darius the Great) during the Achaemenid Empire. Published in "Wonders of the Past" volume II in 1933-1934, this color print offers viewers a glimpse into Iran's rich cultural history. The use of enamel on these tiles adds depth and brilliance to their already stunning design. As we admire this extraordinary piece of artistry from over eight decades ago, it serves as a reminder of Iran's enduring legacy as a center for exquisite craftsmanship and architectural marvels. Let us appreciate its beauty while acknowledging its historical significance within Iranian culture.
