Wall Painting Fragment

Syrian

Green and pink pigment on white plaster. Green ground with pink band on top. Grooves/incised lines on surface; surface is curved on one side. The fragment was examined and analyzed in the Straus Center in 2023. Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence imaging produced results consistent with the presence of madder lake pigment in the pink color.
