This basalt wall relief depicts Prince Barrakib (Bar-Kib) sitting on a throne. Before him, a scribe stands with a writing tablet beneath his arm. The Aramaic inscription besides his head reads "I'm Barrakib, son of Panammwua". After this, a symbol of crescent and full moon appears and is followed by another inscription which reads "My Lord, the Ba'al of Harran". Circa 730 BCE. From the northern hall building at the citadel of Sam'al/Zincirli, modern Southern Turkey. (Pergamon Museum, Berlin)
