This is a good example of stela with human face in relief, an artefact typology whose origin is still debated and unsure. Antonini 2005 considers them as coming from the area of Jawf, mainly for stylistic reasons. But there are also few examples ascribed by the literature to the area of Qataban, for which, however, the provenance is unknown: RES 4241 and 4243 (Pennsylvania University Museum), and RES 3902 n. 5, from Muncherjee's collection. However, the biggest collection of these artefacts is in the museum of Baynūn, where seven stelae are preserved. The museum catalogue affirms a provenance of these antiquities from the Jawf, which in fact would back up Antonini's theory.
