Summary

Description
English: Like most things at Persepolis, even humble items such as this door-post socket are far larger than life. The door that fitted this socket must have been enormous and tremendously heavy. I wonder whether any sort of lubricant was applied to the hinge. . .
فارسی: جای پاشنه درب دولنگه و بزرگ در تخت جمشید که شبیه گل طراحی شده است.
