The museum guidebook states this statue from 200 BC is Ahena (holding a bonnet on the head, a shield and probably a spear, and a Gorgon head on the chest), who could be equated with the Arabic goddess Allat, whose cult extended from Palmyra to the southern parts of the Arabic peninsula. An incomplete inscription at the foot reads "for the good health of our master", it's thought to miss the word Caesar.
