We just installed these two cippi from Malta in our Museum Galleries! 👁️
The inscriptions on these ancient artefacts were the key to decoding the Phoenician alphabet 🔎
They consist of a pair of ornamental pillars, decorated with carved acanthus leaves, and set on rectangular bases with inscriptions in Phoenician and Greek.
On loan from National Museum of Archaeology, Valletta, and Musée du Louvre.
👉See them for yourself in your next #LouvreAbuDhabi visit!
