Description
Sheban Ibex Heads, Yemen.
Alabaster frieze decorated with ibex heads in high relief, Kingdom of Sheba, 6th-1st Century BC.
Sheba was a kingdom mentioned in the Old Testament. It was the home of the biblical "Queen of Sheba", who is left unnamed in the Bible.
The Queen of Sheba is a figure first mentioned in the Old Testament. In the original story, she brings a caravan of valuable gifts for King Solomon. This account has undergone extensive Jewish, Islamic and Ethiopian elaborations, and it has become the subject of one of the most widespread and fertile cycles of legends in the Middle East.
Modern historians identify Sheba with the South Arabian kingdom of Saba in present-day Yemen. The queen's existence is disputed among historians.
