The article examines the scene from an iconographic perspective, researching the composition, the traditions of similar themes in Sasanian and related arts, as well as the details of depicted elements of material culture. The research confirms the origin of the plate from the territory of modern Afghanistan and associates the scene with the model represented in art of the Kushan Empire on which Sasanian elements were placed. The iconographic details can allow dating of the plate to the fifth/sixth centuries AD. https://www.hunara.org/article_200527_3bf0caa83592ed7709e1e983c088db7e.pdf
