Tag-e-Bustan In the center Ardeshir II is receiving the diadem from Ahuramazda on the right while under the protection of Mitra on the left. Mitra is recognized by his rayed headdress stands on a large lotus flower holding the saber of justice -- the barsom.
Beneath the feet of the great king lies the slain enemy, apparently a Roman. Some scholars mentioned the possibility of the fallen character being the image of defeated Ahriman.
