Administrative Seals from the Fire Temple of Ādur Gušnasp at Takht-e Solaymān
This paper examines three Sasanian bullae, to date unpublished, from the fire temple of Ādur Gušnasp at Takht-e Solaymān, located in the Northwestern Azerbaijan province of Iran. The bullae, excavated in 2003 by Yousef Moradi and his team, feature impressions of administrative seals with Middle Persian inscriptions. Additionally, these bullae display impressions of so-called “witness seals”, used by individuals who were required to authenticate t…
Representation of Aphrodite and Eros on Sasanian Clay Bullae
This article examines five Sasanian bullae from the fire temple of Ādur Gušnasp with seal impressions depicting Aphrodite and Eros, and Aphrodite Anadyomene. It is argued that the original seal with Aphrodite and Eros likely dates from the late 1st century BCE to the early 1st century CE, reused between the 5th–7th centuries CE, while the Aphrodite Anadyomene seal is from the 2nd or 3rd century CE. Contextualizing these findings within Graeco-Rom…
Iconographic and Linguistic Interpretations of the Sasanian Clay Bullae in the Framji Dadabhoy Alpaiwalla Museum, Mumbai
This article presents the first comprehensive study of six unprovenanced Sasanian clay bullae from Iran, held at the Framji Dadabhoy Alpaiwalla Museum in Mumbai. Bearing impressions from personal, official, and administrative seals, the seal impressions are here analysed for their iconography, stylistic characteristics, and Middle Persian inscriptions. The study proposes a chronological framework for the seals that produced their impressions on t…

Zoroastrian afterlife beliefs and funerary practices
Malabar Hill, in the cosmopolitan city of Mumbai, is today one of the world's most expensive property markets. And yet the central area of the hillrock peninsula is occupied by the fifty-six-acre walled Zoroastrian funeral grounds, the doongerwadi or 'garden on the hill'. The traditional ancient funerary rites of the Iranian and Indian Zoroastrian communities are essentially the same, those of the Iranians being a little more elaborate. Zoroastri…
The Zoroastrian Flame
For many centuries, from the birth of the religion late in the second millennium BC to its influence on the Achaemenids and later adoption in the third century AD as the state religion of the Sasanian Empire, it enjoyed imperial patronage and profoundly shaped the culture of antiquity. The Magi of the New Testament most probably were Zoroastrian priests from the Iranian world, while the enigmatic figure of Zarathushtra (or Zoroaster) himself has …
Monotheism the Zoroastrian Way
This article examines seemingly monotheistic, polytheistic and dualistic features of Zoroastrianism from the point of view of the Zoroastrian creation myth. Exploring the personality of the principal deity, Ahura Mazdā, the origin of the spiritual and material worlds and the worship of the Yazatas, it is argued that Zoroastrianism has its own particular form of monotheism

Obituary
aged 85, was a leading authority on Zoroastrianism, the pre-Islamic religion of Iran. Born on 2 August 1920 in Darjeeling, India, she was educated in England first at Wimbledon High School and Cheltenham Ladies's College, and then went up to Newnham College, Cambridge. There she read English for Part I of the Tripos before switching to Archaeology and Anthropology for Part II. She graduated with a double first in 1943. During the Second World War…

Exchange and reciprocity are central concepts in all forms of human society. Based on a system of mutual obligation, they denote any activity in which valuables are circulated between individuals or groups of people. In the religious sphere they include the transfer of both material and immaterial goods between human and spiritual beings. As outlined by Marcel Mauss in his Essai sur le don , the classic work on the total system of reciprocity, su…
On the literary structure of the Older Avesta
This article argues that the Yasna Haptaŋhāiti constituted the kernel of a ritual text recited during the Yasna ceremony. Zaraθušhtra's Gathas were arranged around it, and so were the holy prayers and later additions in Younger Avestan. The arrangement of the extant Older Avesta is probably the original one, and may go back to the composer himself. Its compositional principle is that of parallelism and ring composition, a pattern which can be fou…

This book, which goes back to a thesis submitted for the degree of Magister Artium at the University of Freiburg, is to be seen as a further monographic contribution to the study of the Indo-Iranian -and Indo-European -verbal system. It investigates function and form of two relatively small but -at least as far as the first one is concerned -archaic categories of the Indo-Iranian verb: i.) middle presents with 3.sg. in IIr. *-ai , 3.pl. in *-rai …
