A Moabite-Inscribed Statue Fragment from Kerak: Egyptian Parallels
The focus of this study is the Kerak fragment (Kemoshyat inscription) from Moab.

| Résumé: | The focus of this study is the Kerak fragment (Kemoshyat inscription) from Moab. Since its discovery and initial publication, most studies of this piece have focused primarily on its inscribed text, and a critical art-historical analysis of it is long overdue. Our recent reanalysis of the piece, with new photographs, has revealed additional information to aid in that task. Based on this, the designation of this piece as a statue is appropriate, and the closest stylistic parallels to it suggest that it is Egyptian. The addition of inscriptions to Egyptian statues by non-Egyptian rulers has a precedent, and the ninth-century Moabite royal inscription on the Kerak fragment is likely another example of this phenomenon. |
