Reproduction of a Persian archer relief inspired by the “Frieze of the Immortals” from the Palace of Susa (Artaxerxes I), from the 5th century BC, in which the Persian guard is depicted forming rows in horizontal bands, following the same pattern as Egyptian and Mesopotamian reliefs. The figures of the guards are depicted in profile with front-facing eyes. The original mural is also known as the “Archer Frieze” and is made of glazed brick, using dark colors that contrast with bright colors such as red and orange.
The Persian Empire was founded by King Cyrus the Great in the 6th century BC, becoming one of the most influential civilizations of antiquity. Its vast territory extended from the Mediterranean to the Indus, encompassing unprecedented ethnic and cultural diversity. The Achaemenids implemented a centralized government and efficient administration that favored the management of a vast empire. The Persian Empire was known for its religious and political tolerance, allowing conquered peoples to retain their traditions and religious practices. The victory of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC over the Persians marked the end of the Achaemenid dynasty, giving way to the Hellenistic rule of the Seleucid empire, until the conquest of Persia by the Parthian king Arsaces in the 3rd century BC.
Decorating with reproductions of reliefs from ancient Persia is a timeless way to beautify any space. These murals, capturing the magnificence of Mesopotamian art, add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any environment in our homes, libraries, living rooms, offices, or studies.
