The inscription itself is a remarkable testament to the religious devotion and military triumphs of Milkyaton, King of Kition (and Idalion), in Cyprus. The text commemorates his dedication of gold plating to Reshef-Mikal, the revered god, following a victorious battle. The intricate lettering on this artifact provides valuable insights into the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted religious beliefs of ancient civilizations. Preserved within the esteemed British Museum collection, this Phoenician relic serves as a tangible link connecting us with our ancestors' spiritual practices. The vibrant colors captured in this image highlight both the beauty and significance of this historical object.
