the right and to the left are two upright entablatures, containing
exquisitely carved ornamentation adorned with foliage in a classical
style. Above the keystone is a crescent, and in the spandrels on
either side are winged female figures, resembling the usual type of
TAK-I-BOSTAN

is divided into two compartments, the upper one ot which contains
three figures, viz., Chosroes II. in the centre in robes of state, and
wearing the Sassanian diadem ; and two supporters engaged in
presenting him with chaplets. It has been suggested that this
group may commemorate the double gift by the Emperor Mauiicius
