Figurale Bronzen Agyptischer Und Griechisch-Romischer Art Vom Jabal Al-'Awd, Jemen


Overview

English description: The first article in this volume presents 17 bronzes that came to light among the ruins of an enwalled settlement atop the Jabal al-'Awd, a nearly 3000-meter high mountain located some 50 km east of Ibb. The figural bronzes encompass Egyptian or Greek-Roman kinds, but also those obviously produced in South Arabia that display the influence of works from the Mediterranean sphere. Residences of rulers and palaces are a well-known occurrence among ancient civilizations. This applies to ancient South Arabia as well, whence a number of such complexes are found, for example, the palace of Gumdan in Sana'a. The description of Gumdan, as documented by al-Hamdani for instance, shows great similarity with the rock paintings at Djarf al-Yahudi, a basolt promontory located ca. 50 km east of Sana'a. The second contribution in this tome provides a description of these rock paintings and compares them with the documentation made by al-Hamdani. German description: Der erste Beitrag veroffentlicht 17 Bronzen, die in den Ruinen einer ummauerten Siedlung auf dem Gipfel des fast 3.000 m hohen Jabal al-'Awd, rund 50 km ostlich von Ibb, zutage kamen. Erfasst sind figurale Bronzen agyptischer beziehungsweise griechisch-romischer Art sowie offensichtlich in Sudarabien hergestellte, jedoch von Werken aus dem Mittelmeerraum anhangige oder beeinflusste Bronzen. Herrscherresidenzen bzw. Palaste sind aus vielen alten Hochkulturen bekannt. Auch aus dem antiken Sudarabien gibt es Nachrichten uber eine Reihe solcher Bauten, so z. B. zu einem der bekanntesten, dem Palast Gumdan in Sanaa. Die Beschreibung von Gumdan, wie sie z. B. bei al-Hamdani uberliefert wird, zeigt eine starke Ahnlichkeit mit den Felsmalereien von Djarf al-Yahudi, einem basaltischen Felsuberhang ca. 50 km ostlich von Sanaa. Der zweite Beitrag gibt eine Beschreibung dieser Felsmalereien und pruft deren Ubereinstimmung mit al-Hamdanis Beschreibung.
