This 3D model faithfully recreates a South Arabian alabaster funerary stele dated to the 1st century B.C.–1st century A.D.
The piece features the powerful high‑relief head of a bull, emblematic of ancient Yemeni funerary cults, set above a carefully carved inscription in the Qatabanic dialect, commemorating “Haliyrit dhat Shahaz.” The model preserves the original proportions, the subtle surface wear of the stone, and the layout of the two‑line epigraphic field, making it suitable for archaeological visualization, museum‑quality 3D printing, and historical illustration projects.
Reconstructed by ArQreation from auction photographs and comparative epigraphic material, this digital replica is intended as a study aid and artistic homage to Ancient South Arabian funerary art, not as a replacement for the original artifact.
