520 |a How our understanding of Nabataean culture has changed as a result of the excavations during the decade since 1990 is considered, using some specific examples from Nabataean architecture and sculpture. The combinations of eastern, Classical, and local features that make these distinctively Nabataean are explored. The origin of the type of Ionic capitals used as the basis for the elephant-head capitals from the "Great/South Temple" is pinpointed. The carved theater masks and their implications for the performance of Greek theater in Petra are discussed. The interpretation of some Nabataean sculptures is considered in the light of evidence from Egypt and the East, leading to the suggestion that the head of Humbaba is perhaps carved on Tomb 649, and that the famous Fish and Grain Goddesses of Khirbet et-Tannur are personifications of symbols of the zodiac.
