This scholarly monograph by Zahrā Hūrī offers a detailed analysis of Sassanid art through the lens of religious influence, with a primary focus on metal hunting vessels (ẓurūf-i filizzī-i shikār). Published by the Sāzmān-i Asnād va Kitābkhānah-i Millī-i Jumhūrī-i Islāmī-i Īrān, the work investigates the symbiotic relationship between the Sassanid political administration and the Zoroastrian clergy. Hūrī examines how the motif of the royal hunt, a prevalent theme in Sassanid silverwork, served as a complex tableau of power and religious ideology. By analysing the iconography of these vessels, the author demonstrates how art was utilised to legitimise the divine right of kings within the framework of Sassanid religious beliefs. The text covers the historical context of the empire, the role of religion in statecraft, and technical aspects of metalwork.
