Abstract

Research on ancient South Arabian jewellery has been relatively limited in comparison to other categories of material culture. Jewellery has been discovered mainly as funerary goods and tombs have often been the object of looting. The Kharibat Hamdān jewellery collection was illegally excavated in a small funerary temple or mausoleum around the ancient site of Haram, in the al-Jawf area. The dating of the jewels has been possible from comparisons with known individual pieces and from jewels carved in relief on coeval South Arabian sculptures.
