This 2nd-3rd c. CE relief from the al-Maqsha necropolis in Bahrain depicts a young boy, who is the deceased person being commemorated, standing within an aedicule. The boy's young age is symbolised by him holding a dove and a bunch of grapes. The relief comes from the depot of the National Museum of Bahrain, inv. no. A11455 (or A18157?), but was on display at the museum of the Institut du Monde Arabe as of 7 January 2025, when it was photographed.
