It is beautiful. The eagle would suggest Syria, but that's just a guess.

Agreed. The figures look Palmyran?
Not Syria, not Palmyrene. Sorry.

Yes, there are many representations of eagles, facing the spectator, in Greater Syria. Palmyra, Edessa, Jerash, they appear to be everywhere.
Hint: It is now stored less than 120 km from Augsburg.
Stored in the Glyptothek in Munich, then? Not that I've any clue from where it is. Never been to the Glyptothek either.
Munich is correct, but not the Glyptothek.
Museum für Abgüsse klassischer Bildwerke
It says it's for copies of antique sculptures according to Google.
Nope, sorry. Maybe it´s too difficult. I´ll post the solution soon, and post a new one.
Solution: The relief is from the fifth century, it was found in Deir Abu Hennis in Egypt, and it is in the Egyptian Museum in Munich.
New one: What is this, and where?

I think the blue part is the sea. The other thing is called the shore.

Both correct. Let me rephrase: What is the underwater structure we see in this pic, and where is it? ^^
It's either a Roman Road or Port, maybe a lauching ramp for ships.

Looks like a Roman fish-pen (
piscina), but I only know the ones in Italy. Is it at Nice?
