THE RUINS OF THE PALACE OF XERXES
Field Negative P-505
Negative N. 37679
Schmidt Expedition 1935
The Palace of Xerxes is among the less well-preserved monuments on the terrace at Persepolis, yet elements characteristic of Achaemenid court style are still visible in its art and architecture. The staircase reliefs with the lion and bull and Persian and Median nobles still stand on display, as do the monumental stone doorways with their eclectic design and carvings, reminiscent of those in the Palace of Darius.
