Statue of a Young Military Commander, Hatra

This is a very unique statue found in the 4th temple. This young man wears his full military uniform, which was exquisitely carved. He rests his left hand on the pommel of the hilt of a long sword while the right hand is raised in salutation. From Hatra, Ninawa Governorate, Iraq. Parthian period, 1st to 3rd century CE. On display at the Iraq Museum in Baghdad, Republic of Iraq.
