Description
English: Relief Taq-e Bostan ( Kermanshah Province in Iran) from the era of Sassanid Empire: One of the oldest depictions of a cataphract. The figure on top in the middle is believed to be Khosrow II. The figure to the right is Ahura Mazda, and to the left is the Persian Goddess Anahita. The cataphract is not known, although various theories exist on his identity, but he is certainly of royal nobility.

Darüber wird vermutlich der von den Gottheiten Ahura Mazda und Anahita umrahmte Chosrau II. dargestellt.
