Worshiping scene at Dukkan-e Davood The Rock-cut Relief of Dukkan-e Davood (the shop of David) at sarpol-e Zohab, is one of the few late achemenian era rock-cut relief in Iran. The relief shows probably a magian or a nobleman holding a barsom (set of tied sticks symbolyzing the power). The character wears a tpicaly median hat, and a dress corresponding to the achaemenian fashion. It is unclear wether it was carved during the achaemenian era, or further during the Seleucid era or even the parthian. Opposed to the royal achaementian art of rock relief (see Naqs-e Rostam) the execution is clearly one of a provincial artist: the relief is not carved deep in volume, and the style is not mature. The relief lay under a quadrangular window opening a rock-cut tomb, probably for a local noble. It stands above the ground by 12 meters high. The place is still worshipped as locals believe it is a representation of king David. Many people are constantly praying there, explaining the good state of conservation (no vandalism) and the green flags one can see there. The women were worshipping, and the old khanum dressed in blue tried to cut a piece of green flag in order to keep a holy reliecs for herself. As she was not strong enough, I did it myself and gave it to her: she was very surprised but was finaly very happy by learning that even being a farengi, I was married with an iranian woman. She told she would also pray for me and my familly. Other late achaemenian reliefs are: Ravansar & Sakavand (province of Kermanshah), Qizkapan (Iraki Kurdestan) Gardanah Gavlimash (Fars), and Kapan (Fars) Taken in Sarpol-e Zohab, province of Kermanshah, Iran, May 2009. |
