 * Comment – Has this bas relief been eroded or partially effaced? It doesn't have the contrast/shadows to reveal its form like the bull & lion below. (Perhaps oblique lighting would help?) Sca (talk) 13:13, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * This is one of the few survived bas relief in Persepolis. No need to have any shadow and special lighting to display the form of work. Even curve of beard is shown and clear. thanks for your comment Alborzagros (talk) 03:48, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Except this is a case where "harsher" lighting could help greatly. At thumbnail size, this doesn't come across that clearly. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:26, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
