DEPOSIT INFORMATION
| Deposit | Ṣanʿāʾ, Military Museum, MṢM 4690+MṢM 4691 |
| Notes | In Mordtmann and Mittwoch's photo, the two fragments of CIH 5 appear inserted in the wall of the Ṭalḥa mosque in Ṣanʿāʾ. However, we know from Ansaldi (1933: fig. 11) that, at least since 1933, the two stones, together with CIH 7, had been removed from that place. In fact, nowadays they're both housed in the Military Museum of Ṣanʿāʾ under the sigla MṢM 4690 and MṢM 4691. |
