A Persian carpet... looking nice! And it's not too far-fetched, as 
Artaban was a Mede... although I'm not sure whether they had this kind 
of carpets in the Parthian empire during the 1st century BC...

On the other hand, I can remember having seen a partially preserved 
carpet from the Achaemenid era (around 500 BC) some 15 years ago in an 
itinerant exhibition of Scythian treasures from the St. Petersburg 
Eremitage... and the ornaments did not look too different from 
modern-day Persian carpets, albeit less detailed!

See you in Khyberspace!
