EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a human figure sculpture from Hisham's Palace, an architectural masterpiece of the 8th century AD located at Khirbat al-Mafjar near Jericho, Israel. Built during the reign of Caliph Hisham Ibn Abdulmalik (724-743 AD) by his governor Waild Ibn Yazid in 734 AD, this palace is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Islamic world during this period. The intricately carved human figure sculpture, adorned with decorative stucco, is a striking example of the artistic excellence that flourished during the Umayyad Caliphate. The figure, believed to represent a sacrificial victim, is a common motif in Umayyad art and architecture, reflecting the deep-rooted influence of ancient Near Eastern cultures on Islamic art. This sculpture is now a prized exhibit at the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum in Jerusalem, Israel, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors from around the world. The photograph captures the essence of this ancient artifact, inviting us to explore the history and stories that lie beneath its intricate surface. The Umayyad Caliphate, which ruled the Islamic world from Damascus, Syria, is known for its significant contributions to art, architecture, and culture. Hisham's Palace at Khirbat al-Mafjar is a prime example of the grandeur and sophistication that characterized this period, and the human figure sculpture is a reminder of the enduring influence of Islamic art on the world.
