2.	Copper Seal with Sabota on it.
3.	A Pottery Stamp (back view).
4.	An Alabaster Lamp.
5.	Alabaster Mace Head (?)
6.	A Pottery Stamp (front view).
7.	The Seal of Yarsahal (side view).
8.	An Alabaster Lamp (bottom).
9.	Fragment of a Himyaritic Inscription.

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 same 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.
