A remarkable 2000-year-old statue, originating from the Ashkanian period (Parthian Empire, 247 BC to 224 AD), has been successfully recovered from smugglers by the diligent efforts of Persian Gulf Police Station 179. This rare artifact, valued at 20 billion Tomans, was at risk of being sold in Tehran before authorities intervened.

Discovered in southern Iran, the statue offers an invaluable glimpse into the Ashkanian era, showcasing the distinctive clothing, hairstyles, and facial makeup of that period. The statue's hand gesture mirrors those seen in depictions of Achaemenid kings from Shiraz and Kermanshah, potentially revealing significant details about ancient Iranian rituals and cultural practices.

The Cultural Heritage Organization is expected to honor this unique sculpture, enhancing our understanding of Iran's ancient civilization and rich cultural heritage.

Crafted from bronze, the statue highlights the materials, fashion, and possibly the identity of its subject. The headdress, characteristic of the Parthian period, often referred to as a "Parthian tiara," indicates high status and possibly royalty or religious significance. Its pointed shape and intricate decorations reflect the fashion and cultural norms of the time.

The statue likely represents a prominent female figure from the Parthian era, possibly a queen, high-ranking noblewoman, or priestess, given the elaborate nature of her attire. The Parthian Empire, known for its cultural and artistic achievements, often created statues to honor significant individuals in their society.
