## Image Caption

Statue of the priest Bano Abdo from Hatra. The statue’s base is inscribed with an Aramaic text. The man has a long beard and an upward-curling mustache. He looks forward and wears a long conical hat. His hands (now lost) would have held a ritual object or a statuette. The feet are bare. He wears a long-sleeved dress and a knee-length outfit. The neck and feet were extensively restored. Such statues were placed inside temples. From Hatra, in modern-day Ninawa Governorate, Iraq, 1st to 3rd century CE.
