Missing Illustrations
Quoted text:
Pope[1] (1957: pp. 125, 129) pointed out that the crenelated parapets crowning the walls and stairway railings of Persepolis, representing the mountain symbolism of the ziggurat, “are clearly symbolic and have no possible military value” (Illustrations 9.A and 9.B)
Help us track down two images to insert.
And can you help us figure out what these illustrations are supposed to be? There are no lettered illustration numbers (only numbered ones such as 9.1 and 9.2, for example). Accessing Pope may help, although we did not find the answer there. (Reference the Illustration list for possible matches, or find a new image.)
