Production
Every piece is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse — your print is produced after you order it, at the facility closest to your address. That means it reaches you faster, travels less distance, and arrives with a smaller carbon footprint than something shipped from a single central location.
Four Kings of Kings stand side by side in carved panels, each named beneath his portrait in the stone itself — Cyrus II, Darius I, Xerxes I and Artaxerxes II. Above them the Faravahar spreads its wings across the lintel, the Zoroastrian emblem that presided over the gateways of Persepolis.
Please note: this is a flat art print on paper — not a carved, cast or textured object. The depth you see is photographic, raking light across the original stone, and it is what gives the piece its three-dimensional presence on a wall.
Two centuries of Achaemenid rule, read left to right along a single wall. The limestone is reproduced as it stands: sunlit and honey-colored, split by fissures that run straight through the panel divisions, every figure cut deep enough to throw its own shadow.
- Cyrus II — the founder of the empire, in a soft domed cap, holding the ceremonial barsom
- Darius I — in the tall fluted crown, a spear in one hand and a shallow bowl in the other
- Xerxes I — bearing a long royal staff, in a beaded torc and rosette-patterned robe
- Artaxerxes II — in a crenellated crown, offering a bowl
- The winged Faravahar centered above the four panels
Perfect for
