Inscribed Stone Block
(South Arabia)
This irregularly shaped fragment features two rows of inscription on its smooth front side. It is impossible to determine whether this fragment was part of a wall, a stela, or another monument, and the inscription is nearly unintelligible. The first line may contain the clan name Dhu-Nadha'.
