Rusa I (ruled 735-713 BC) was a King of Urartu/Ararat/Armenia. He succeeded his father, king Sarduri II. The inscription says: “With the might of God Haldi, Rusa, son of Sarduri, says: I again reunited Velikuhi with (my) kingdom. I erected here new gats of Haldi and built a strong castle and named it after Haldi in honor of Biainili (Van).”

I also take requests

The only specifications I have are the time period (beginning of time to 10th century CE) and location (Eurasia, not ancient Greece, Rome, or Egypt. However, Coptic Egypt, Egypt after the rise of Islam are fine. Also, China is off limits, unless you count western China).

“Hanging with Christian Images”

A tapestry fragment densely decorated with pagan, Old Testament, and Christian themes. Two confronted peacocks surround a chi rho symbol, beneath them is an interlaced arch which covers two confronted doves surrounding an ankh. Beneath the ankh are the Three Hebrews, who votively raise their hands towards a chi rho and the Coptic letters alpha and omega. The doves, the peacocks, the ankh, the interlaced arch, the chi rhos, the alpha and omega, and the Three Hebrews all represent deliverance and the eternal afterlife. Numerous four-legged animals are in the margins of the arch.

Weaved out of dyed wool and undyed linen.

Made in the 500s in Egypt during the Coptic/Byzantine period. Currently held at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
