| Commentary |
The relief, found in a room of the sanctuary of Aphlad, depicts a priest who is perhaps the dedicant, offering a sacrifice of incense to the god Aphlad, represented, bearded and wearing a calathos, standing on the back of two griffon eagles. He wears a military breastplate and boots. His collar and belt are typically Parthian, as are his trousers. He holds a long sceptre in one hand and a lost object in the other. The inscription is engraved to the left of the god, above the priest.
Le relief, trouvé dans une salle du sanctuaire d'Aphlad, représente un prêtre qui est peut-être le dédicant, offrant un sacrifice d'encens au dieu Aphlad, représénté, barbu et coiffé d'un calathos, dressé sur le dos de deux aigles griffons. Il porte une cuirasse militaire et des bottes. Son collier et sa ceinture sont typiquement parthes, comme son pantalon. Il tient un long sceptre d'une main et un objet perdu dans l'autre. L'inscription est gravée à la gauche du dieu, au-dessus du prêtre. |
