Funerary relief of Haliphat from Palmyra (PAL0119)
Description
An account of the resource
Limestone funerary relief of Haliphat, identified as such in the Palmyrene inscription over her shoulders, which likewise gives her date of death as 231 CE. She wears a veil and headdress, and her wavy hair is parted in the middle and secured behind her head beneath the veil. A lock of hair extends from the part over her forehead. She wears a thin strand of beads across her neck, above a series of Venus rings. In addition, -----beaded necklaces, and two rings on her left-hand little-finger. Her tunic and cloak are fastened with a large circular brooch with a rosette and geometric decorations. Her right hand is raised to her cheek, and she extends her forefinger and middle-finger to touch her cheek, while the ring- and little-fingers are bent to touch her jaw. Her left arm is draped but her left hand extends from her cloak to hold the edge, while extending her pinky- and fore-fingers. Behind her is a background composed of a cloth and two palm fronds secured with rosettes at each end. Traces of paint are still legible on Haliphat's drapery and face.

Description
An account of the resource
A limestone funerary relief of a woman with a Palmyrene inscription over the left shoulder. She wears a headdress and veil with a headband decorated in a palm motif flanked by geometric shapes, a design used frequently on the funerary reliefs of Palmyra. The band headdress covers her forehead and obscures the part in her hair, but tendrils of wavy hair spill onto the figure's shoulders beneath the veil. She wears elaborate earrings and several necklace strands (or one necklace made up of different strands). Her tunic beneath her cloak is decorated, and a band of floral decoration (perhaps another piece of jewelry) is located around her upper right arm. In her left hand she grasps the end of her cloak in a loop, while she gestures with her right hand, palm in, with the thumb, pointer, and little finger extended and the two middle fingers folded down. The incised almond shaped eyes, frontal composition, and fleshy Venus-rings across her neck are often found on these reliefs. Dated to the third century CE.

Description
An account of the resource
A limestone funerary relief depicting a woman with a Palmyrene inscription over her left shoulder. She wears a veil and diadem decorated with floral and lattice designs found frequently on other examples, and her hair is parted in the center and wraps back around the head beneath the veil. The eyebrows, eyes, and pupils are incised, with the gaze directly slightly upward. The woman wears a tunic, ball earrings, two necklaces (one with a circular hanging pendant), and two rings on her lefthand little finger. Both arms are held against the body beneath her drapery, and her right arm crosses over her chest to rest on (or grasp) the cloak on her opposite shoulder. Her left hand extends from the cloak, whose edge is looped up and grasped between her thumb and forefinger, with the rest of her fingers likewise extended. Behind the figure is a cloth seemingly affixed to the background by a four-petaled rosette at the right corner (the left is damaged). From Palmyra, dated c.175 CE.
