I found these pictures in an article in Iranica Antiqua in
our library. "The Iconography of Pre-Islamic women in Iran" (Aurelie
Daems. Iranica Antiqua. Vol 36, 2001, p1-150) and
"Eine Kneipe in Susa" (L. Trumpelmann. Iranica Antiqua. Vol
16, 1981, p35-44). There is a section on "erotica" in the 150-page
masters thesis. The figurines and tablets in the following pictures are
from the
Neolithic period (8th millenium) all the way down to Sassanian times. The
explicit tablets are mostly from Susa. Only the
styles and focus of the art have changed down the ages.
Pictures 1 thru 6 are all from Susa. They are dated between
1900-1200BC, and belong to the Elamites. The last 2 pics are
from Sasanian times. Pic 7 is a mosaic from 3-4th century AD
from Bishapur. The last pic (#8) is the "beloved wife of
Shapur III" dated 4th century and in Pahlavi script.
