Archaeologists excavated two bull heads of the Hundred-Column Hall portico a short distance from their bodies. The missing ears and horns, perhaps originally gilded, were carved as separate pieces for attachment. This head, which weighs around 10 tons, was transported to Chicago and restored by Donato Bastiani. The other head remained at Persepolis, restored atop its body at the entrance to the hall.
