DescriptionStandard of Cyrus the Great (Blue).svg |
English: Reconstruction of the Achaemenid "falcon standard", based on the design of a tile of Egyptian blue frit found at Persepolis in 1948 (Īrān-Bāstān Museum, Tehran, no. 2436), with the addition of coloring.
The plaque shows Egyptian Horus, but in the Persian context was likely associated with the Avestan "glory-bringing bird", varəγna. Literature: Sāmī, Persepolis, tr. R. Sharp, Shiraz, 1970, fig. facing p. 100; H. Luschey, "Ein königliches Emblem," AMI 5, 1972, pp. 257-60. A. Shapur Shahbazi, DERAFŠ, Encylopedia Iranica (1994).
