Sculpture
The Tribute Bearer, shown wearing a typical Persian costume and ascending a staircase with his offering, was one of hundreds of brightly-painted stone relief sculptures on the palace walls and stairways of Persepolis, the spiritual center of the Achaemenid Empire. The figure represents one of 23 tribute-bearing delegations from all parts of the Empire that arrived at Persepolis for the annual spring New Year’s festival.

Amulets are small objects that represent gods, goddesses, and symbols of rebirth. Made of bronze, clay, or stone, they offered the wearer sacred protection both in the world of the living and in the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians wore amulets as jewelry
during life; priests would also place amulets within the wrappings of a mummy as they prepared it for burial. Certain amulets were placed in specific locations on the mummy, such as over the heart, the throat, or the incision on the abdomen.
Anubis was the god of mummification and protected the deceased’s body from harm. Amulets of Anubis would not have been worn as jewelry by the living but would only have been placed in the linen wrappings of the mummy.
