Rostam is the central hero of the Shahnameh, the Persian epic that has shaped ideas of courage, duty, and moral strength for centuries. Scenes of Rostam confronting the lion appear in the early trials of his legendary journey, symbolizing the first tests of resilience and readiness before greater challenges ahead. The encounter represents courage in the face of sudden danger and the responsibility carried by those chosen to protect others.
This relief depicts Rostam as a mounted warrior facing the lion, a visual expression of heroic resolve drawn from Persian epic tradition. It reflects themes of strength, vigilance, and commitment to purpose, making it meaningful to those who connect with the Shahnameh as a source of cultural memory and identity.
Each piece is carved from solid beech wood using precision CNC carving, then carefully hand-sanded and laser-detailed to preserve the motion, figures, and layered depth of the scene. A traditional shellac finish brings warmth to the wood while protecting the surface for long-term display.
The relief measures 7" x 7" x 0.5", a balanced size suited for display in a living room, office, or personal space where epic symbolism and craftsmanship can be appreciated.
Each piece is made from natural solid wood. Grain patterns, tone variation, and small natural markings will vary from piece to piece and are part of the material’s character.
Personalization is available on the back of the piece. Text only. A name, date, or short message may be engraved to mark a meaningful connection, milestone, or personal dedication.
