Brown Acid washed t-shirt, Gates of Nations emblem on cuniform calligraphy.
The construction of the Stairs of All Nations and the Gate of All Nations, were ordered by king Xerxes (486-465), the successor of the founder of Persepolis, Darius I the Great.
Like Gate R in Pasargadae, the entrance of the Gate of All Nations was protected by bulls (front) and these mythological creatures, called lamassu’s, bulls with the head of a bearded man. These bull-men originated in Babylonia and Assyria, but the Persians adopted them. The general idea behind them is that they warded off evil.
