NOTES
| "Il y a quelques années, cette bague se trouvait chez un antiquaire parisien avec deux curieux objets en or de forme oblongue, sorte de lamelle accompagnée de son étui, tous les deux très soigneusement travaillés. L'extremité de la lamelle portait exactement la même inscription, disposée de la même manière" (Bron 2009: 51). For a comparison see the gold finger-ring from tomb 3 of wādī Ḍuraʾ(Breton 1993:25, no. 8, pl. 10, fig. 25, pl. 25, fig. 72 ). |
