The “Hall of the Ambassadors” paintings in the frame of the calendrical system of the Iranian world.

Authors: CRISTOFORETTI, Simone;

The “Hall of the Ambassadors” paintings in the frame of the calendrical system of the Iranian world.

Abstract

In the second part of present work, S. Cristoforetti provides historical data and analysis allowing us to recognize and confirm the presence of representations of Iranian Nawruz and Chinese Duanwujie festivals in the pictorial cycle preserved in the "Hall of the Ambassadors" in Afrasyab (Samarkand). Hence we managed to restrict datations for the cycle to a specific period of a few years, a result never achieved before, which bears relevant consequences for any archeologist with a keen interest in Sogdian historical issues. Nella seconda parte del saggio, S. Cristoforetti fornisce i dati e la relative analisi che permettono di riconoscere e confermare la lettura di parte del ciclo pittorico della "Sala degli ambasciatori" di Afrasyab (Samarcanda) come la rappresentazione delle feste di Nawruz e di Duanwujie. Tali analisi permettono - risultato non raggiunto fin qui - di restringere la datazione del ciclo a un breve torno d'anni, con conseguenze di un certo rilievo nel panorama degli studi sulla Sogdiana.
