The papers illustrates the sculptures belonging to the Terra Sancta Museum and the Convent of the Flagellation in Jerusalem. The collection includes a variety of material brought together in the course of many years from other convents in eastern territories or donated by friars. In general, the provenance of the sculptures is unknown, and archive data are lacking. It is possible to distinguish two groups: reliefs from Palmyra, and funeral stelae that might have come from Syria. The other material is greatly varied; particularly noteworthy are a female head of a goddess, in marble, and two Ptolemaic heads.
