Izid's headpiece not a halo?
Looking at the image of "Aradashir's coronation" with the conquered king being stamped on and the priest or god being depicted on the left - the prose describes the priest as having a halo. This appears to be an interpretation rather than a description of the image - I see a wide Aztec style headpiece (similar to a stereotypical Native American chieftains feather headpiece) made from fabric which is bunched together (like hair in a pony tail) at the bottom just below the shoulder. All 3 figures have this wide fabric piece like a wide ribbon, the ribbon is clearer in other depictions from this period. To assess that the headpiece is a halo is a big step and needs some support and close analysis. Are there better images or other depictions that clearly show the Izid with a "halo" or what might be interpreted as such?

For what it's worth I think the article should read "headpiece"; you can't put bunches in a halo. 78.148.43.119 (talk) 16:33, 30 July 2009 (UTC) user:pbhj

Taq Bostan → Taq-e Bostan – This article was without form of discussion moved back in 2014. The name as of this moment doesn't make sense as its simply an incorrect transliteration. The majority of articles in other languages has the spelling 'Taq-e Bostan' for a pretty good reason. Academic sources such as Iranica uses this spelling as well (here, for example). --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:47, 25 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. KCVelaga (talk) 06:50, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
