With representation of a multi-dome building
Iran, 8th century
Bronze, engraved
The entire inner surface is engraved with a radial decoration of arcade arches, which are alternately filled with flower tendrils and wing palmettes. Above a large pair of wings, as it often appears in Sasanid art, a large building is depicted: a multi-storey structure with a row of arcades, a crenellated wreath and domes is depicted in the center with a striking single column.
