This pulpit was found broken into pieces at its original location in the "Blue Chapel", on the northern ridge of the Petra city center. Petra was a "Bishopric See" during the Byzantine period. The pulpit was hexagonal in form, supported by 6 colonettes on a limestone base and accessed by steps. Its marble is not local to Jordan; most probably it was imported, in worked panels, from Turkey and then assembled on location at the chapel. Byzantine period, 6th century CE. From Petra, Jordan. (The Jordan Museum, Amman, Jordan).
