Bumping Into Artemis Again At Petra

· · Leave a Comment

Today was a day off, under our own steam. We took in the Petra Museum, which is wonderfully designed and highly informative. Then we wandered back into Petra itself, with Elaine in pursuit of two bowls she had seen yesterday, one in Nabataean design, the other Roman. She found them and haggled with a thoroughly genial trader.

A bronze of Artemis, who we had also bumped into in Jerash – her foot perhaps on a wounded animal
A somewhat haunted face
Sculpted head of an elephant
Reconsituted, from many fragments
Life is persistent here
Less interrupted view of the camels today
Having seen 002 and 005 yesterday, I wanted to track down 007 today
Our bullet-pocked friend again – have heard conflicting accounts as to who was responsible
