EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Funerary stela of a man, discovered in Palmyra around 50 AD. Carved from limestone, this ancient artifact stands at an impressive size of 48x22x12 cm and is housed in the prestigious Louvre museum in Paris, France. The stela bears a solemn inscription that reads "Alas Halisu son of Taimba" revealing the identity of the deceased individual. The intricate design features a standing figure within a palmyrenian niche, adorned with a Greco-Roman tunic. This striking image captures both the artistic skill and cultural significance of Palmyra during its heyday. Despite being captured by photographer Giraudon back in 1926, this photograph continues to captivate viewers today with its timeless beauty. It transports us back to ancient Syria, allowing us to marvel at the craftsmanship and symbolism embedded within this funerary monument. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our connection to history and how art has always served as a powerful medium for remembrance. The Funerary stela serves as a poignant tribute to Alas Halisu's memory while also offering valuable insights into Palmyran society during the first century AD. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from afar and honor its historical significance without commercial use or exploitation.
