Summary

Description
English: Detail of an alabaster carving of of a man with raised right hand, from a funerary stela in the National Museum of Yemen in Sana'a. The statue was found at Al-Juba and dates to the 1st century AD. The depiction shows the man from his head to his waist, though the original carving shows the man's full body. His left hand grips a sword, while a dagger is tucked into his belt. His hand is raised in a gesture of peace, showing that he carries no weapon to attack. The original column also features three ibex heads in relief and a dedicatory text in Sabaean.
