East side of the elamite rock relief said Kul-e Farah III. The relief is carved on an isolated rock at the South East of Izeh, ancient elamite city of Ayapir. It was discovered in the 19th century by the british orientalist traveller and archaeologist Austen Henry Layard, as many others at Izeh. The relief is the IIIrd of a serial of 6 carved in a little gorge, covering either isolated rocks and cliffs. This one dates of the 7-8th centuries BCE, as the others of this site. All 4 sides of this cubic rock are carved on the whole surface. The East side shows a superposition of several ranks of animals, almost asian bulls but also possibily some goats, driven to a religious sacrifice. A single rank of praying devots can also be seen at the downer part. A religious office scene is carved on the south side, classic thematic in Elamite rock reliefs.
