Abstract

During archaeological survey in 2003, a unique pedestal has been found in a farm in Owjtapeh (Bukān) which, upon its artistic features, seemed to belong to Iron Age III and to the site of Qalaychi. This pedestal has been transferred to its present place after illegal excavations. There cannot be found a similar pedestal in Iran, but there are some comparable samples in Assyrian sites and inscriptions which show artistic relations between northwest of Iran to Assyrian Empire. The aim of this article is to study the origin and date of this object and to support its relation to Qalaychi site.
