DescriptionDrawing of the Eastern Wall of the Sogdian Wirkak’s Sarcophagus.jpg |
English: Line drawing of the eastern wall of the Sogdian sa-pao Wirkak’s sarcophagus in Hsi-an: Wirkak and his wife are on their way over the Chinvat Bridge to the Sogdian Paradise. Top right Wirkak and his wife can be seen feasting in Paradise, over them is the Sogdian God, Weshparkar, who welcomes the deceased. Upper left the sun god, Mithra, is hovering over the World together with some “apsaras”, which are a kind of angels and winged horses. A sinner seemed to be in free fall down towards the water. Under the bridge monsters are lurking for the sinners, who will be rejected by the guardians of the bridge. On the bridge the deceased are assumed to meet a fair young woman, who will be the personification of their life’s merits. |
