In the autumn of 1982, a Neo-Elamite tomb, later identified as the “Arjān tomb,” was accidentally discovered during road construction near the Mārun dam in Behbahān, Iran. This tomb, located approximately 10 km north of modern Behbahān, yielded significant archaeological materials, including the Arjān bowl. This paper focuses on the scenes depicted in the second register of the Arjān bowl, a subject of ongoing research. Recent investigations have revealed the presence of a previously unnoticed sacrifice event within this register. Additionally, this study explores the connections between the sacrifice ceremony depicted on the Arjān bowl and the Elamite rock reliefs at Kul-e Farah, with particular emphasis on that of Hanni. The findings suggest a cultural and ceremonial link, evidenced by the portrayal of acrobats and musicians accompanying the sacrifice on the bowl, thereby enhancing our understanding of Neo-Elamite ceremonial practices.
