This bas-relief is located at the ancient site of Naqsh-e Rajab, 4 km north of Marvdasht in Fars Province. Among the carvings at Naqsh-e Rajab is the well-known Inscription of Kertir. Kertir was the Mobadan Mobad, the chief priest and a powerful religious figure of the Sasanian era, who controlled affairs for nearly a century under six Sasanian kings — from Ardashir Babakan to Narseh. He is described as a powerful, strict, and highly devout man who made every effort to establish Zoroastrianism as the official religion and enforce all its rulings throughout his lifetime. Four bas-reliefs of Karir survive, all depicting him as an older, clean-shaven man wearing a hat and formal attire. These reliefs are located at Sarmasjed (80 km from Kazerun), Naqsh-e Rostam, Ka’ba-ye Zartosht, and Naqsh-e Rajab. The Inscription of Kertir, written in 30 lines beside the coronation relief of Ardashir Babakan, covers two main subjects: an introduction of Kertir himself and his spiritual ascension. He briefly mentions his ascension and asks the reader to remain steadfast in the faith as he was. The inscription then goes on to describe his century of service in the Sasanian administration, the fire temples, endowments, and the sealed documents given to the priests, lists his titles during the reigns of six Sasanian kings, and concludes by mentioning his scribe, “Bokhtag”.
