Abstract

An Analysis of the W1 Image on the Stone Sarcophagus of the Sogdian Wirkak

The article is intended to interpret the first image on the western side of the Wirkak sarcophagus in the light of Zoroastrianism. The author proposes to identify the central scene as Ohrmazd showing the frawahrs of a human couple his all-knowing wisdom in the paradise, prophesying the fate of their life, and the frawahrs agreeing to be born into the profane world. The rest of the image shows the hierarchy of the gods and the sacred order of the material elements.

Keywords: Sogdian, Wirkak, Zoroastrianism


北周凉州萨保史君墓自其发掘以来,学界对其文字和图像进行了多种释读[1]在这些研究中,对图像的解读观点各异,但仍达成了一些共识:西壁中有一婴儿出生,北壁表现宴饮骑射等生活场景,东壁中死者渡桥,南壁中人首鸟身祭司在火坛前祭祀,其中东壁和南壁具有浓厚的祆教色彩。
