Bk. IV. Ch. VI.
PALACE AT TAKT-I-BOSTAN.
409
The statue of Chosroes on his favourite black steecl “ Shubz diz,” is
original and interesting, and, with many of the details of this monu-
ment, it has been introduced into the restoration of Mashita.
This, it must be confessed, is but a meagre account of the architec-
ture of a great people. Perhaps it may be that the materials do not
exist for making it more complete; but wkat is more likely is that
they have not yet been lookecl for, but will be founcl when attention
is fairly directed to the subject. In the meanwhile what has been
said regarding it will be much clearer and better understood when
we come to speak of the Byzantine style, which overlapped the
Sassanian, and was to some extent contemporary with it.
