Rock relief in Afghanistan

Rag-i-Bibi refers to a Sasanian rock relief on a cliff in Bactria, modern-day Afghanistan. It first became known to western scholarship in 2002. It is located in the Baghlan Province, about a kilometre south of Shamarq and 10 km south of Puli Khumri. Rag-i-Bibi is the local name of the relief, which refers to Fatimah the daughter of Muhammad, who is venerated by the Shiites.
