Kul-e Farah relief III, detail of southern face

On the largest (south) face a large-scale figure (2 m high) wearing a long, fringed garment and perhaps a “visor”-style headdress or hairstyle stands with his hands clasped at his waist atop a pedestal, which is mounted on a platform elevated by four smaller-scale kneeling figures wearing a rounded, cap-like headdress. The chest is shown frontally, in contrast with the typical profile depictions in this relief. It has been suggested that the figure atop the platform could be a divine statue; however, he lacks the hallmark iconographic features of deities (most notably a horned helmet) and should be considered a human ruler.
