Dr Nathalie Brusgaard@stiofi it's a carving of a dromedary camel, about 2000 years old, from Jordan. Camel carvings are very common in ancient Arabia 😊
Claire Barnes@brusgaard I had the same question - & guessed quite wrongly about the location, fascinating!
I had looked first for explanatory #AltText. That's well worth adding on this site, expected as a courtesy to the many readers who can't see the images (due to impaired vision or slow internet). Many people will only boost posts which include AltText, & many of us look for additional explanation of interesting images. #GreatAltText can be an artform in itself! H/T @greenleejw
