EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Sassanian Silver-Gilt Dish of King Peroz I, dating back to the 5th century. The dish, housed at the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad, is an exquisite example of Persian craftsmanship during the Sasanian Empire. The image depicts King Peroz I engaged in a hunting expedition, specifically targeting mouflon. With his bow and arrow aimed skillfully at his prey, he embodies both regal power and prowess as a hunter. This scene offers us a glimpse into the life of this ancient monarch and provides insight into their cultural practices. The Sasanian Empire was known for its grandeur and influence before Islam's rise in Iran. The House of Sasan ruled over this empire from 224 to 651 AD, leaving behind numerous artifacts that continue to captivate historians and art enthusiasts alike. The silver-gilt dish itself is an extraordinary decorative object that reflects the royal splendor prevalent during that era. Its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship make it a true testament to Persian artistry. As we admire this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness not only an important historical artifact but also gain insights into the rich heritage of Iran under King Peroz I's reign.
