Lydian man in Persian dress. Lydia was a rich province of the Persian Empire and connected to Iran by a Royal Road. The Lydians carry gifts of precious metal drinking-bowls and breakers. The shape of the chariot and its reinforced tyres are similar to miniature depictions on a seal of Darius and a god chariot-model from the Oxus Treasure.
