Summary

Description
English: Pedestal vase of the neo-hittite kingdoms:

Basalt. Origin: perhaps northern Syria. Around 800-750 BC. London, British Museum, 1888, 0801.1. Exhibition at the Louvre Museum in 2019 for the exhibition "Forgotten Kingdoms".

Legend in the exhibition "Forgotten Kingdoms": "This basalt pedestal vase, engraved with an inscription in louvite hieroglyphics, was discovered in southern Iraq in the 1880s. It may come from Babylon or Sippar, but was certainly made in northern Syria. According to the dedication, the bowl was carved in honor of the god of the storm by a character whose name has not been preserved. The expression "God of the storm of heaven" is another name of the god of the storm of Aleppo. The bowl could be specifically carved for the temple of the storm god of Aleppo."
Français : Vase à piédestal des royaumes néo-hittites.

Basalte. Provenance : peut-être la Syrie du Nord. Vers 800-750 avant J.-C. Londres, British Museum, 1888, 0801.1. Exposé au Musée du Louvre en 2019 pour l'exposition "Royaumes oubliés".

Légende dans l'exposition "Royaumes oubliés" : "Ce vase à piédestal en basalte, gravé d'une inscription en hiéroglyphes louvites, a été découvert dans le sud de l'Irak dans les années 1880. Il provient peut-être de Babylone ou de Sippar, mais a certainement été fabriqué en Syrie du Nord. D'après la dédicace, le bol a été sculpté en l'honneur du dieu de l'orage par un personnage dont le nom n'a pas été conservé. L'expression "Dieu de l'orage du ciel" est un autre nom du dieu de l'orage d'Alep. Le bol a pu être spécifiquement sculpté pour le temple du dieu de l'orage d'Alep."
