The Syrian-Swiss Excavation Expedition made four probings in Qasr al- Heir al-Sharki (The Eastern Walled-Palace) through which, walls made of adobe, stones and mud were unearthed.

Two gypsum pictures were discovered in the probings. The first picture portrays a horseman, riding his horse, wearing an oriental dress and holding in his left hand his horse's bridle and in his right hand a dove.

Botanical decorations appear behind the horseman. The second picture shows a lady and human images.

The expedition also discovered fractions of potteries, and glass and bones during the exploration works. SANA
