| a Sasanian gilded silver head of a king, likely Shapur II, from 4th century A.D. The artifact is from the Sasanian period, which was the last Persian empire before the rise of Islam. It is believed to portray Shapur II (309â379 A.D.), who was the tenth Sasanian King of Kings and is known for his military conquests and long reign. The piece is made of gilded silver and is housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The elaborate crown and detailed facial features are characteristic of Sasanian royal art, which often used scenes depicting the king as metaphors for royal power. |
