In the absence of rigorous botanical study, the plants depicted on the lowest register are usually thought to be flax and grain. This analysis of the image identified as grain argues that its botanical characteristics, iconographical context and similarity to an archaic sign found in proto-writing demonstrates that it should be identified as a date palm sapling. It confirms the identification of flax. The correct identification of the plants furthers our understanding of possible symbolic continuities spanning the centuries that saw the codification of text as a representation of natural language.","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Naomi F Miller"},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Philip

At the same time, in the royal iconography that goes from Tiglath-pileser III onward (8th century BCE), bas-reliefs and wall paintings often show the ruler holding a plant or flower in his lowered left hand. This paper analyses the portraits of the kings—with a special focus on the reign of Sargon II— in the light of textual evidence in order to identify the meaning and function of the plant of life. A link between texts and images will be proposed, thereby suggesting that the plant was used primarily by the king to express his mercy and metaphorically indicate himself as a life-giving ruler.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Metaphorical Allusions to Life-Giving Plants in Neo-Assyrian Texts and Images","attachmentId":59890136,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/39715801/Metaphorical_Allusions_to_Life_Giving_Plants_in_Neo_Assyrian_Texts_and_Images","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/39715801/Metaphorical_Allusions_to_Life_Giving_Plants_in_Neo_Assyrian_Texts_and_Images"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="1" data-entity-id="113298435" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/113298435/_The_Representation_of_Plants_in_the_Ancient_Near_East_">"The Representation of Plants in the Ancient Near East"</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="274832" href="https://siue.academia.edu/AllisonThomason">Allison K Thomason</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Cultural History of Plants in Antiquity, 2022</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"\"The Representation of Plants in the Ancient Near East\"","attachmentId":110293726,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/113298435/_The_Representation_of_Plants_in_the_Ancient_Near_East_","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/113298435/_The_Representation_of_Plants_in_the_Ancient_Near_East_"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="2" data-entity-id="123105861" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/123105861/FUNCTIONS_AND_MESSAGES_OF_TOKENS_and_amp_COUNTERS_SEALS_SEALINGS_and_amp_RELIEFS_OF_ANCIENT_MESOPOTAMIA_AS_REPRESENTATIONS_OF_NON_LINGUISTIC_COMMUNICATION_A_SURVEY">FUNCTIONS AND MESSAGES OF TOKENS &amp;

The Istanbul Archaeology Museum houses many stone statues and sarcophaguses featuring a variety of figures. Among other things, these figures depict fighting, richness, fertility, peace, gods, and plants. Plants are represented as whole trees, cones, leaves, fruits and flowers. These figures help us to understand both the cultural history of these plants and ancient human relationships with plants. The purpose of this study is to identify the genera and species of the plant figures on the stone statues, reliefs and sarcophaguses from the Hellenistic and Roman periods in the Istanbul Archaeology Museum and to discuss their historical importance. To this end, a list was created to record the inventory number, original location where the remains were found, and the age and historical time period of 47 Roman and Hellenistic statues and sarco-phaguses. A total of 24 different types of plants were identified: acanthus leaves, apple, apricot, bay laurel, common grape wine, common fig, a whole eastern plane tree, eggplants, a globe of artichoke, oak leaves and fruits, olive, opium poppy, pear, a cone of umbrella pine, pine leaves and cones, pomegranate, quince, walnut, wheat, strawberry fruit, and date palm leaves, fruit, and stems.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"IDENTIFICATION OF PLANT FIGURES ON STONE STATUES AND SARCOPHAGUSES AND THEIR SYMBOLS: THE HELLENISTIC AND ROMAN PERIODS OF THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN BASIN IN THE ISTANBUL ARCHAEOLOGY MUSEUM","attachmentId":60130753,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/39943855/IDENTIFICATION_OF_PLANT_FIGURES_ON_STONE_STATUES_AND_SARCOPHAGUSES_AND_THEIR_SYMBOLS_THE_HELLENISTIC_AND_ROMAN_PERIODS_OF_THE_EASTERN_MEDITERRANEAN_BASIN_IN_THE_ISTANBUL_ARCHAEOLOGY_MUSEUM","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/39943855/IDENTIFICATION_OF_PLANT_FIGURES_ON_STONE_STATUES_AND_SARCOPHAGUSES_AND_THEIR_SYMBOLS_THE_HELLENISTIC_AND_ROMAN_PERIODS_OF_THE_EASTERN_MEDITERRANEAN_BASIN_IN_THE_ISTANBUL_ARCHAEOLOGY_MUSEUM"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="5751296" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/5751296/Human_Divine_or_Both_The_Uruk_Vase_and_the_Problem_of_Ambiguity_in_Early_Mesopotamian_Visual_Arts">Human, Divine or Both?
