Summary edit

Description
English: Right: This is the statue of princess "Doshafri", daughter of king Sanatruq I of Hatra (reigned c. 140-180 CE). Although the statue is somewhat weathered, it is an excellent example conveying the appearance of a Hatrene princess. The Mesopotamian god Shamash appears on the front aspect of her elegant headdress. The pieces of jewelry on the headdress, neck, arms, and fingers were carefully depicted. Made of limestone. The height of the statue is 222 cm. The Aramaic inscription on the base of the statue (not shown here) says it was made in the year 138 CE. From the 5th temple at Hatra, Iraq. 2nd century CE. Iraq Museum, Baghdad, Iraq. Left: This is the statue of Princess "Simi". Simi was the daughter of princess Doshafri, and granddaughter of king Sanatruq I (reigned c. 140-180 CE) through her mother. The overall depiction of the attire and pieces of jewelry are very similar to her mother's one (on the right, not shown), although it is smaller; it seems that the same sculptor did both statues and both of them were found in the 5th temple at Hatra. The pieces of jewelry on the headdress, neck, arms, and fingers were carefully depicted. Made of limestone. The height of the statue is 143 cm. The Aramaic inscription on the base of the statue (not shown here) says it was made in the Seleucian year 449 and commissioned by her husband. 2nd century CE. From the Fifth Temple at Hatra, Iraq. Iraq Museum, Baghdad, Iraq.
