The Eshaqvand Tombs are three rock-hewn burial chambers located approximately 25 kilometers southwest of Harsin in Kermanshah province, Iran. The tombs, carved directly into stone, feature architectural elements attributed variously to the Achaemenid and Seleucid periods. The middle tomb is distinguished by a relief sculpture depicting a bearded man in profile with hands raised in prayer, accompanied by a torch and fire altar; a second figure behind the altar appears to hold an unidentified object. The exact historical attribution of these monuments remains uncertain, with scholars proposing origins ranging from the Median period through the Parthian era. The site is recognized as part of Iran's national heritage.
