EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient anthropomorphic stele, dating back to the IV millennium BC, is a captivating artifact from the Arabian Peninsula now housed in the National Museum of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Measuring 92 centimeters in height and 21 centimeters in width, this ivory-colored limestone sculpture is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The anthropomorphic figure depicted on the stele is believed to represent a deity or a powerful ruler from the ancient civilization of Al-Mahjar, which flourished in the Al-Makir and Qaryat al-Kaafa regions of present-day Saudi Arabia. The figure is adorned with intricate carvings and symbols, suggesting a deep connection to the spiritual and religious beliefs of the people of the time. The stele's anthropomorphic form, with its humanoid features and elongated limbs, is a common motif in ancient Arabian art. The figure's headdress, adorned with a horned crown and a solar disk, further emphasizes its divine or regal status. The intricate patterns and designs carved into the stele's surface are believed to represent various elements of nature, such as trees, animals, and celestial bodies, reflecting the ancient Arabians' deep connection to their natural environment. The discovery of this stele and other similar artifacts has provided valuable insights into the history and culture of the ancient civilizations that once thrived in the Arabian Peninsula. The National Museum of Riyadh, which holds a vast collection of such artifacts, is an essential destination for anyone interested in the history and art of the region.
