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.
