Hi! Below is a working bibliography that I plan to use for editing this page, in particular the section on the two reliefs, where I will be focusing on the relief of the female Gad of Palmyra.

Bibliography

Baird, Jennifer (2018). Dura-Europos. New York: Bloomsbury Academic. ISBN 9781472522115. This text provides much information related to my object as well as its larger context of Palmyrene influence at Dura, and Palmyrene religion at Dura.

BRODY, LISA R.; SNOW, CAROL E. (2019). "Quarries at the Crossroads: Sourcing Limestone Sculpture from Dura-Europos and Palmyra at Yale". Yale University Art Gallery Bulletin: 78–85. ISSN 0084-3539. This source provides information about the relief materials: answering the question of whether the limestone came from Dura or Palmyra, in particular. This allows readers to speculate, also, about where the reliefs were, in fact, created. It is reliable: published by Yale.

This source is the first secondary source from the Yale excavations at Dura, and will include information from the relief's first excavation and analysis. It is reliable and has been cited often.

Palmyrene and Gandharan sculpture : an exhibition illustrating the cultural interrelations between the Parthian Empire and its neighbors West and East, Palmyra and Gandhara, October 14 through November 14, 1954. New Haven: Gallery of Fine Arts, Yale University. This is a university-published exhibition text, so it should be reliable. It contains scholarly information about the site of Dura-Europos as well as Palmyran culture, and discusses specifically my chosen object and its Palmyrene iconographic context.
