This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of the Tomb of Ataxerxes I and its intricately carved relief below, located in the Naqsh-e Rostam Necropolis near Persepolis, Iran. Standing tall against a clear blue sky, this vertical image showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and architectural prowess of ancient Persia. The tomb, a place concerning death within this necropolis, is an awe-inspiring testament to Iranian culture and tradition. Dating back to the 5th century BC, it stands as a national landmark steeped in history. The stone carving depicts animal representations alongside a male likeness on horseback - an exquisite example of bas relief artistry.

This photograph encapsulates both beauty and mystery while inviting us to explore further into Iran's rich cultural heritage. James Strachan has skillfully captured this momentous site through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its historical importance and marvel at its enduring allure.
