Description

This used copy of Queen of Sheba: Treasures from Ancient Yemen is a British Museum Press exhibition catalogue edited by St John Simpson. It connects the famous legend of the Queen of Sheba with the real archaeological history of southern Arabia, especially ancient Yemen, and presents a richly illustrated introduction to the region’s culture, trade, art, religion, and material remains.

The book is especially appealing because it is not just a general history title. It sits at the crossover of archaeology, museum publishing, ancient Near Eastern studies, and beautifully produced exhibition catalogues. That makes it attractive to buyers who collect British Museum books as well as readers specifically interested in ancient Arabia and Yemen.

This copy appears to be in good used condition from the photos provided, making it a solid reading and reference copy for collectors, students, or anyone interested in the ancient world.
