Simi was the daughter of princess Doshafri, and granddaughter of king Sanatruq I (reigned c. 140 - 180 CE) through her mother. The overall depiction of the attire and pieces of jewelry are very similar to her mother's one (on the right, not shown), although is smaller; it seems that the same sculptor did both statues and both of them were found in the 5th [temple](https://www.worldhistory.org/temple/) at Hatra. The pieces of jewelry on the headdress, neck, arms, and fingers were carefully depicted. Made of limestone. The height of the statue is 143 cm. The Aramaic inscription on the base of the statue (not shown here) says it was made in the Seleucian year 449 and commissioned by her husband. From Hatra, Ninawa Governorate, Iraq. Parthian period, 2nd century CE. On display at the Iraq Museum in Baghdad, Republic of Iraq. #### Editorial Review This human-authored image has been reviewed by our editorial team before publication to ensure accuracy, reliability and adherence to academic standards in accordance with our [editorial policy](https://www.worldhistory.org/static/editorial-policy/). ## About the Author Associate Professor of Neurology and lover of the Cradle of Civilization, Mesopotamia.
