Nabatean carving, Kerak castle, Jordan
Funerary monument of a Nabatean cavalryman fully equipped for the afterlife, 2nd century AD, located in the ruined interior of the East Salient in the Upper Court, Kerak castle, Jordan. Kerak is a crusader castle begun in the 1140s under Pagan the Butler, Lord of Transjordan. It was the centre of power for Transjordan and was subsequently ruled by the crusader Renaud de Chatillon, the Ayyubids, Mamluks and Ottomans. It is a spur castle with walls protected by projecting towers and its glacis providing extra defense against the enemy. Picture by Manuel Cohen
