Image title
A box in the guebra (or Zoroastrian) cemetery near Teheran (Iran), the corpse remains exposed in the open air until it is stripped of all its flesh, clothed with a kind of shroud that wraps its head like a turban, and covers its shoulders, turns towards the south, legs and arms cross and the figure uncovered so that the birds of prey for him rip out the eyes. Engraving to illustrate the story of Henri de Blocqueville “14 mois de captivite chez les turcomans”” between 1860 and 1861, in “Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages”” published under the direction of Edouard Charton, 1866, Paris.
