This beautiful bronze votive plaque dates to circa 1st century BC and is inscribed with twelve lines of Sabaean text in raised relief, reading:
Yan'im and his brother and their sons the Banu Rasham have dedicated to their god Labhan, the bull of the West, in his sanctuary dhu-Samiʿān, an inscription which he has commanded for them in his ba’l, for their well-being and the well-being of all that they have acquired and will acquire, and so that Labhan increases their prosperity and favor and health and strength, and that he will remove from them all evil and evil spells, malevolence, slanders, and marauders of all enemies, far and near.
