The Kul-e Farah sculpture is considered one of the most prominent examples of Elamite art dating to the third millennium BCE. It depicts religious and royal scenes that reflect the beliefs of Elamite society and its political system. It also reveals the artistic and cultural interaction between Elam and the neighboring regions.
