Image description

Personification of water or the Iranian river goddess Anahita between youths on winged horses reminiscent of representations of the hero Bellerophon and Pegasus also of the Dioskouroi (the divine twins Castor and Pollux). The scene may have cosmic significance, if the two youths represent the constellation Gemini, called Do-paykar in Middle Persian astronomical texts.
