Шаблон:Infobox artefact The Gökçeler relief is an Achaemenid-era tomb relief made in the Anatolian-Persian style. It was found in 2004 in the village of Gökçeler in Manisa Province of present-day Turkey.Шаблон:Sfn The area of discovery corresponds to the northern part of the historic region of Lydia, at a time when it was a satrapy (province) of the Achaemenid Persian Empire.Шаблон:Sfn The relief is made out of limestone and measures 1.79m × 0.55m × 0.25m. The relief is a "distinctive product of the artistic synthesis classified as Graeco-Persian or Anatolian-Persian".Шаблон:Sfn It was created between the late 6th century and early 5th century BC.Шаблон:Sfn It may be used as "yet further evidence for the presence of Persians in the region".Шаблон:Sfn
According to Figen Çevirici-Coşkun in Anatolian Studies, the relief probably depicts an African male figure presenting gifts to the tomb owner, the latter perhaps being a Persian noble or a non-Persian noble serving the Persians, who had adopted Persian cultural habits.Шаблон:Sfn The African figure was either a servant or friend of the tomb owner.Шаблон:Sfn Çevirici-Coşkun notes that this does not come as a surprise, as the Achaemenid Empire was multi-ethnic and the Persians lived together with other nations.Шаблон:Sfn Furthermore, archaeological data from Sardis (the capital of the Lydian satrapy) and Dascylium (the capital of the Hellespontine Phrygia satrapy) has shown the existence of cosmopolitan populations in these important satrapy centres.Шаблон:Sfn According to Elspeth R. M. Dusinberre, the figure remains ambiguous, and could also be a woman, although women are not generally depicted in Persian relief sculptures.[1]
In terms of iconography, the gifts presented by the figure are "western Anatolian and Greek in origin", however, the clothing he wears are "clearly of Persian influence".Шаблон:Sfn The work is unique as it is, to date, the only known Anatolian-Persian sculptural work discovered in Anatolia depicting an African figure.Шаблон:Sfn The work testifies to the "multiracial social structure of the Lydia region during the late sixth to early fifth century BC".Шаблон:Sfn The stele is located in the Akhisar Museum.Шаблон:Sfn
