Abolala Soudavar’s work is innovative, and it proposes a novel interpretation of ancient iconography of Iranian kingship. The author has spent a lifetime studying Iranian archaeological and historical iconography from the ancient to the medieval periods. By examining imagery relative to textual traditions, Soudavar has been able to uncover hidden dimensions and significances in an important body of Iranian literary and artistic works.
