Hisham Palace Diwan Dome
A series of Umayyad palaces in the Levant were explored during the first half of the twentieth century. Excavations uncovered archaeological finds that illustrate the architecture and decorative arts of early Islamic civil architecture, particularly stucco inscriptions. These inscriptions are characterized by decorative styles that combine geometric, vegetal, animal, and human elements, inspired by the art of the Mediterranean, Persia, and Asia. Among the most notable works is a circular piece that adorned the dome of Hisham's Palace, featuring human faces and plants, demonstrating a high level of artistic skill that reflects the early Umayyad character and a diverse artistic heritage.
