Media, Babylon and Persia : including a study of the Zend-Avesta or religion of Zoroaster, from the fall of Nineveh to the Persian war
Media, Babylon and Persia is a scholarly history of ancient Iran and Babylon, including a study of Zoroastrian scripture, written by Zénaïde Ragozin and published in London and New York in 1889 for general readers of antiquity. Its engravings show carved architectural reliefs, a stone throne-like monument with a bearded figure and rows of attendants, and a richly patterned mosaic-like floor, which a designer might draw on for ornamental borders, geometric repeats and classical carved motifs.
