It represents seven chamois (or goats) lying in a row. The
heads are coarsely formed, the eyes like knobs, and the bodies of
the two animals which are outside are indicated in profile. The
original use of the object is uncertain, but, in any case, it must
have been a topmost ornament, for the under-side, though regu
larly smoothed, is not polished like the other surfaces, and therefore
cannot have been meant to be seen.
The trough which we brought from A1 Gran is of the same
stone as the former objects. It is 2 feet long by 11 inches wide and
4 inches high. It has an inscription containing a dedication to the
God Sayan or Seiyin running all round it and finishing on one
side of the top. In the top there is a depression sloping towards
a spout, which is now broken off all but an inch. The depth of the
depression is from one quarter to half an inch, and the channel in
the spout runs down to three-quarters of an inch. Prof. Dr. D. H.
Miiller has kindly translated this inscription, which appears to
represent it as an altar. He thinks it must be for frankincense,
but I think it must have been for some liquid. . The inscription on
the end opposite the spout is worn by marks of ropes being dragged
against it.
We bought an object of fine alabaster in Aden. It was said
to come from the Hadhramout. It seems like a seal or stamp
and has a hollow round the back, with spouts in either of the
short sides. It had been used as a lamp when we obtained it.
There is a kind of handle or tube pierced through to the front,
probably for suspension.
In the samp illustration are also part of an earthenware stamp
and the seal of Yarsahal, the younger of Shibahm, with its golden
setting, and a copper seal with Sabota on it.
