Tell Halaf replicas

These statues at the entrance to the Aleppo Archaeological Museum are from the Tell Halaf (early first millenium) which was discovered in 1899 by a German diplomat. Rather, they are replicas and the originals were carried off to Berlin, where a direct hit smattered them into 25.000 pieces during a WWII bomb raid. I was happy to read in an article in a Dutch paper, that in the Pergammon museum in Berlin a sample of them are on display (till 14-8-2011) after reconstruction. See Pictures in Wikimedia Commons.
