 British-Yemeni Society: Marib and Timna by an unknown artist
Earlier this year she consulted a member of the Society, Merilyn Hywel-Jones, about the pictures with a view to establishing their approximate date and the identity of the artist, whose signature she had been unable to decipher.
The folio included seven drawings of Marib: various parts of the Temple of Awwam (Mahram Bilqis), the Temple of Bara’am [Bara’an], the Marib Dam and the ‘modern’ town; two drawings of Timna (Beihan): the Temple of Athtar and the South Gate; and one of the mound at Hajr bin Humaid nearby.
The provenance of the folio and how it found its way to an English country sale-room remains a mystery; several years have elapsed since the auction took place and details of the vendor are no longer available.
