Stele with relief of a man wearing a long cloak, 2nd-3rd century AD, 1 of 15 found in 1991 buried in a garden in Qal’at al Bahrain, displayed in the Qal'at Al-Bahrain Site Museum, near Manama in Bahrain. These stelae may have been buried during the islamic period, or placed in graves during the Tylos phase, but their purpose remains unclear. The museum was opened in 2008, displaying artefacts of the history and archaeology of the Qal'at al-Bahrain, or Bahrain Fort or Portuguese Fort, built 6th century AD, once the capital of the Dilmun Civilisation. Qal'at al-Bahrain is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
