## Image Caption

This wooden door shows [Darius I](https://www.worldhistory.org/Darius_I/) (reigned 521-486 BCE) dressed as [pharaoh](https://www.worldhistory.org/pharaoh/) on the right, making an offering to the [Egyptian](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Egyptian/) [god](https://www.worldhistory.org/God/) [Anubis](https://www.worldhistory.org/Anubis/). The goddess [Isis](https://www.worldhistory.org/isis/) stands on the left. The door originally belonged to a box (or naos) used to contain statuettes and must have been from a [temple](https://www.worldhistory.org/temple/). The box would have been covered with sheet [gold](https://www.worldhistory.org/gold/) and inlaid with red and blue glass. From [Egypt](https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/). 27th Dynasty, 522-486 BCE. (The British Museum, London)
