1. Title: A 10th Century BC Black Basalt Relief: A Soldier on Horseback from the Palace of King Kapara, Tell Halaf, Syria This black basalt relief, dating back to the 10th century BC, showcases a soldier skillfully riding a horse. It is one of the 187 orthostats that once adorned the base of the south wall of the Palace of King Kapara in ancient Guzana, located in the Mediterranean region of modern-day Syria. The relief is now proudly displayed at the British Museum in London, United Kingdom. The soldier, dressed in armor and holding a shield, sits confidently atop his horse, with a reins in his left hand and a bit in his right. The horse, with its arched neck and flowing mane, appears alert and obedient. The intricate carvings on the relief reveal the advanced artistic style of the Neo-Hittite civilization, which flourished in the region during the Late Bronze Age. King Kapara, also known as Bahiani or Hilani, was a powerful ruler of the Bit-Hili or Bit-Bahiani kingdom, which was part of the larger Bit-Gabara or Bit-Gabri kingdom. The Palace of King Kapara, a significant archaeological site, was discovered in 1932 and has provided valuable insights into the art, culture, and history of the ancient world. The relief's intricate details and the masterful depiction of the soldier and his horse demonstrate the advanced artistic skills of the Neo-Hittite civilization. The relief's dark, polished surface adds to its visual appeal and makes it a striking addition to the British Museum's collection. This magnificent piece of ancient art serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Mediterranean region and the intriguing history of ancient Syria.
