Evidence
"The fragments are made of Egyptian blue and were found at Palace D at Persepolis (Figure 1)."
Remarks
The Egyptian blue was used specifically to create fragments related to the 'horns of animals which belong to column capitals' discovered at Persepolis (p. 66). This is cited as evidence for the presence of skilled Egyptian artisans or stonemasons in the Achaemenid heartland (p. 67).
