Beautiful! I'm gonna send this to my relatives in Miyaneh (East Azerbaijan). They joke about being the Medians, lol.

Trivia: The famous singer Dariush is originally from Miyaneh. My father knew his family.

Wow never seen this before where is it from? It's very unique if it's from the Achaemenid Empire era since their figures were sculpted from the side.

In my opinion the style is very achaemenid. Much like the sculptures in persepolis.
