its not Achilles, Im Esfandiar

Editions 10 Its not Achilles, I'm Esfandiar (25x14x16cm) I made the clay model on 2012 while I was in exile with piece of clay brought to me by my grandmother from iran as souvenir later bronze casting of the first edition done on 2019. According to the epic Shahnameh, Esfandiyār was the Crown Prince and a Divine Warrior of ancient #Iran (or Persia) who supported the #prophet Zartosht (Zarathustra), enabling him to spread the religion of Zoroastrianism. He also fought against many apostates and enemies of Zartosht to do so. In return, Zartosht gave Esfandiyār a chain and armor from Heaven. The armor made him #invincible and the chain had the power to bind anyone, even a #demon or #evil magician, making them unable to escape. Zartosht also gave a Divine blessing to the prince.
