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.
