| Title |
Dish: King Hormizd II Hunting Lions |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
Lion hunting was a traditional royal sport in many Near Eastern cultures; in art it was sometimes symbolic of a historic conquest. Here, details of the king's and the horse's equipment are in the style of the 5th-century Hormizd III. The crown, however, resembles that of Hormizd II (AD 303-309), so this plate may be commemorative. |
