拍品專文

Bearing the typical Achaemenid engraving of the so-called 'Hero triumphant,' a figure in royal dress is depicted grappling a horned griffin with either hand. The subject can be interpreted as either a representation of the Persian king, or a deity, possibly Ahuramazda, combatting the forces of evil. The Aramaic inscription, reading from the left, is of a personal name: whybrzn - Veh-barzan.
