SUPPORT INFORMATION
| Support type | Architectural structure » Undefined architectural element (mws³lt) |
| Material | Stone |
| Notes on support and decorations | In the text the support is referred to as mws³ltn, presumably indicating an architectural element employed in a ritual context (Prioletta et al. 2021: 332). |
ORIGIN AND PROVENANCE
| Modern site | Abdexan |
| Ancient site | Unknown |
| Country | Federal Republic of Somalia |
| Archaeological context | Religious context: Temple Rḥbm of ʾḫḫtn |
| Notes | The found area of this looted epigraph has remained undisclosed. The area of Abdexan well has been proposed on the basis of comparisons of the landscape (visible in the background of one photograph of the looted area) with Google Earth's digital elevation models (Prioletta et al. 2021: 328-329, fig: 1). Rḥbm likely indicates the name of the temple where this epigraph was found and in which its author declares to have served as priest (Prioletta et al. 2021: 332). |
