title: Roman Funerary Relief, 2nd or 3rd C CE

description: Limestone Roman Funerary Relief, 2nd or 3rd C CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

From the object's description on artsmia.org:

*"...Many of the surviving sculptures from ancient Palmyra are funerary reliefs. Collective underground tombs were laid out in deep burial niches, called loculi, dug deep into the high sidewalls. Each niche was sealed with a stone carved in high relief with a bust of the deceased, sometimes carved against a curtained background. The figure's eyes are prominent, and the features are strictly regular. Reliefs like this one, with a background curtain and palm fronds, are found in examples dating from at least the late 2nd century. The rigidly frontal presentation also has a religious meaning, alluding to the experience of ecstatic vision or the participation in the afterlife."*

description: Al-Thuqaibah is an Iron Age II settlement spanning 1000 to 600 BCE. It is located south of Dhaid at the southern end of Al Madam oasis in central part of the Sharjah Emirate, United Arab Emirates. Over the last 30 years it has been investigated by archaeological teams from Sharjah, France, and Spain, uncovering mud-brick houses, gardens, and evidence of mud-brick manufacture. In the mud at the bottom of small basins are hundreds of preserved foot prints. GDH completed high-resolution scanning and photogrammetry to document the basins and the preserved features within them. This is basin 13 processed in Reality Capture from 135 images.

description: Natural Version with Paint, Petroglyph J4 Khatm Al Melaha, Kalba, Sharjah. Anthropomorphic and other pooly defined glyphs. Likely Neolithic or earlier. [Fossati 2019 Messages from the Past: Rock Art of the Al-Hajar Mountains (Oman)].

Khatm Al Melaha is an archaeological site on the coast of the Oman Sea near Kalba in Sharjah, UAE. It is one of the largest rock art sites in the UAE.

Over 175 stones with petroglyphs were documented and close to 400 motifs were identified. Every rock with a glyph was given an ID number and a GPS coordinate. In total 25455 terrestrial photographs, 5244 drone photographs, 44 drone videos, and 182 GPS points (+/- 1cm) were done in a single day.

Petroglyphs were identified using Radiance Scaling in Meshlab, materials lighting in Substance Painter, and by changing conditions in Sketchfab. Some carvings were completely invisible when viewing. Drawings were done only when a line could be identified using one of these techniques.

title: Offering table of Idy

description: Offering table of Idy
Limestone
Egypt, Middle Kingdom, 2040–1640 BCE
Said to be from Burg el-Arab (Mediterranean coast).
Harvard Semitic Museum 1902.17.36

This small square limestone offering table was used for libations and purification rites rather than as a receptacle for actual food and drink. Nevertheless, the food offerings carved on the tablet's surface indicate the importance attached to feeding the spirit of the deceased, which was accomplished by reciting offering formulas inscribed around the edges. The U-shaped object at top center is a conical loaf of bread. The circular shape to its right is another type of bread. A calf's head, a leg of beef and a trussed bird (right center) are also present. Water pours from two tilted bottles into a small basin. Funerary libations would have been poured into this basin and would have drained away though the shallow spout.
