Drink from the pages of history. This unique ceramic mug features a complete, readable English translation of an authentic 1st-century Nabataean legal decree found directly on Tomb No. 20 at Hegra (Mada’in Salih), Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage site.
Set against an aged parchment-textured backdrop, the text reveals a fascinating historical legal declaration made by “Aidu, son of Kohailu” under the reign of King Aretas, the ruler of the Nabataeans. Complete with ancient curses invoking gods like Dusares and Menath to protect the tomb, this mug captures the incredible legal, spiritual, and social customs of the ancient spice-route merchants. The design is elegantly anchored by a gold-bordered label confirming its historical origin: “MADA’IN SALEH – TOMB N°20 1st century CE.”
Whether you are looking for a meaningful keepsake to remember your travels or searching for the perfect cultural gift, this high-quality mug is a stunning piece of functional art. Perfect for your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or as a centerpiece display on your desk.
