Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The archangel Gabriel. Byzantine, 6th century A.D.
Possibly a fragment of an ambon (= pulpit in a church). Marble, 100 x 89 cm (for the complete relief). From Antalya City. Correspondent: J.M.Criel, Antwerpen. Source: ‘Antalya Museum’ (Book from the ‘Kültür Bakanlığı’/Ministry of Culture). A pdf of the museum I found on the internet in addition gives: The upper part of a finely carved relief depicting the Archangel Gabriel with wings and an inscription over his head in Greek reading: GABRIEL. Wearing a mantel attached to his right shoulder with a brooch and holding a round disk in his right hand. This disk was later inscribed with the word: “ALLAH” in Arabic, probably during the 13th century and this relief, now given an Islamic context through this inscription was reused, possibly in the Antalya Citadel, which was demolished in the 19th century. The Archangel Gabriel being the Angel who spoke to the Prophet of Islam Muhammed. |
