Summary
[edit]DescriptionKul-e Farah VI (3291730415).jpg |
The elamite rock relief said Kul-e Farah VI is carved on an isolated rock at the entry of a small gorge located at the South East of Izeh, ancient elamite city of Ayapir. The relief is the 6th of a set of 6 scenes covering either isolated rocks and cliffs, carved at either the 7th or the 8th centuries BCE. It was discovered in the 19th century by the british orientalist traveller and archaeologist Austen Henry Layard, as many others at Izeh. Although the relief was badly damaged by time and erosion if not by vandalism, several character can be distinguished yet: the main character, either a high priest or a king, seem performing a religious office followed by several others arranged in ranks. His dressing and hat are typical of this era. The religious theme is a classic in the elamite art of rock relief, often showing ranges of outnumbered devotes praying or dancing, covering all the possible surface of the rock or cliff. No perspective yet existed at this time into the fashion of representative art. The tall of the main character is major compared to the others, sign of a big social rank, if not a royal rank.
