EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient artwork titled "Slab with Dromedary Rider, Tell Halaf, Northern Syria". Created by the Syrian School in the 10th Century BC, this limestone slab adorned the façade of a temple-palace constructed by local ruler Kapara. The intricate carving depicts a dromedary rider atop a majestic camel, both painted in vibrant red hues. More than two hundred similar stone reliefs embellished this architectural masterpiece. These orthostats were strategically placed to create an alternating pattern of red-painted limestone and black basalt blocks. The top edge of this particular slab bears traces of King Kapara's inscription, proudly proclaiming it as his palace. The image captures a sense of motion and dynamism as the dromedary gracefully carries its rider across the ancient landscape. The saddle-clad camel stands tall with its distinctive hump while being guided by its skilled driver holding a staff. This scene evokes images of caravans traversing vast deserts and adds to our understanding of life during antiquity. Preserved at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into Syrian history and culture from centuries ago. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship and artistic prowess that thrived in ancient civilizations like Guzana (modern-day Tell Halaf).
