Sasanian royal hunting plates are hammered silver dishes carrying a single raised scene: the king on horseback spearing a lion or ram, the figure gilded in warm gold against a plain, cool silver ground and picked out in black niello. This system rebuilds that object as an interface — a circular narrative relief on a deep, tarnished-silver field, never white. Everything sits concentrically around the medallion, as the metalworker chased it. Cool silver reads as ground; amalgam gold marks the royal act; niello draws the contour. The result is regal, quiet, and metallic — a 1,600-year-old propaganda object rendered as a design language.
