"Capturing the Elegance of Ancient Remembrances: A Glimpse into Palmyra and Telloh" Step back in time with these captivating black and white photographs, showcasing a collection of remarkable funerary stelae and reliefs from ancient Palmyra, Syria. These exquisite pieces offer a glimpse into the lives and beliefs of individuals who lived over two millennia ago. The first photograph presents a Funerary Stela of a man discovered in Palmyra around 50 AD. Carved from limestone, this solemn monument stands as a testament to honor the deceased's memory. Moving on, we encounter an intriguing Funerary Relief of Athenourou, also hailing from Palmyra. Crafted meticulously from marble, it depicts scenes that shed light on the individual's life journey. Next up is the Funerary Relief of Zabdale; its stone surface bears intricate carvings that symbolize eternal remembrance for those who have passed away. Continuing our exploration through time, we come across another striking piece – a Funerary Relief portraying a female figure. This stone sculpture evokes both grace and strength while preserving her legacy for generations to come. Shifting our focus to Neo-Sumerian artistry, we are introduced to two depictions found in Telloh. The Woman with the shawl captivates us with her profile view while holding an aryballos—a vessel used for precious oils or perfumes—showcasing her refined taste even after death. In another image featuring this woman facing forward, she exudes poise and elegance that transcends time itself. The Bust of Ummayat wife of Yarhai lady takes us further into history during the late 2nd century AD. Sculpted delicately from limestone, it immortalizes her beauty forevermore. Returning once again to Palmyra's rich heritage, we encounter two Funerary Reliefs of a couple.
