Naqsh-i Barjastah-i Timur
Pul-i Abginah, Iran

A rock relief dating to the latter part of the reign of Qajar Fath-Ali Shah is carved onto a rock face along the side of the main road leading through Pul-i Aginah, a village to the south of Kazirun. A chronogram on the relief dates the image to 1829-1830/1245 AH. The relief depicts Timur Mirza, here referred to as Timur Shah, seated on a throne with a pet lion. To his right and left are attendants.
