Palmyra funerary portraits from the Archaeological Museum of Strasbourg

The reliefs from Palmyra that are now in the collection of the Archaeological Museum of Strasbourg (France), were donated to the museum in 1929 by Gustave Schlumberger, who acquired them through a network of Syrian dealers. Therefore, they lack archaeological context and their age is determined by their stylistic similarity to other reliefs.
