Barm-e Delak (Persian: برمدلک), is a site of a Sasanian rock relief located about 10 km southeast of Shiraz, in the Pars Province of Iran.[1] The rock relief was known as Bahram-e Dundalk in Middle Persian, which means Bahram's heart.
History
The site is located near a river, on the eastern side of a rocky spur. It composes four reliefs.
The first relief is a family scene done in a unique style in honor to king Bahram II. It shows the king offering a lotus flower to his wife.
