Description
This unique plaque depicts a man dressed in a thigh-length costume and shoes. He wears headgear used by hunters and traders. A serpent is coiled in front of his face, and a bird, perhaps an eagle, with outspread wings emerges from behind his shoulders. Serpents and eagles in South Arabian art are associated with the sun and moon. On top of the plaque, a female figure wearing a long, sheath-like dress is oriented horizontally and may represent a worshiper. Text beside the man contains the given name Heshfer or Heshqer of the Serben clan.
