Allard Pierson Museum Palmyrene funerary relief

Summary edit

Description
English: Loculus relief decorated with a bust of a woman. She is shown frontally. In the Palmyrenian Aramean inscription on the right of the relief we read “Qubûdâ daughter of Malê Mattanal. Alas!” She wears three head covers: a band around her head, a turban and a cloth that is also draped over her shoulders. The almond-shaped eyes with heavily set upper eyelids are striking. She is wearing a tunic over which a cloak is draped that is secured to the left shoulder with a large pin. In her left hand she holds a spindle and a distaff that were used for spinning. Limestone, 135-150 AD. On loan from the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Copenhagen. Inv. Nr. I.N.1078. A note further explains that the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Copenhagen holds the largest collection of Palmyrene burial sculpture outside Palmyra. And: probably the reliefs in ancient times were colourfully painted.
Nederlands: Sluitplaat voor een grafnis versierd met reliëf van buste van een vrouw. In dit reliëf is een vrouw frontaal weergegeven. In de Palmyreense Aramese inscriptie rechts op het reliëf lezen we “Qubûdâ dochter van Malê Mattanal. Helaas!” Zij draagt drie hoofdbedekkingen: een band om haar hoofd, een tulband en een doek die ook over haar schouders is gedrapeerd. Opvallend zijn de amalvormige ogen met zwaar aangezette bovenste oogleden. Zij draagt een tunica waarover een mantel is gedrapeerd die is vastgezet op de linkerschouder met een grote speld. In haar linkerhand houdt zij een spoel en een spinrokken (stok) die gebruikt werden bij het spinnen. Kalksteen 135-150 n. Chr. Bruikleen uit de Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Copenhagen. Inv. Nr. I.N.1078. Een bordje legt uit dat de Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Copenhagen de grootste collectie Palmyreense grafsculpturen buiten Palmyra heeft. En: Vermoedelijk waren de reliefs in oude tijden kleurrijk beschilderd.
