Still in publisher's shrink-wrap."The present study takes as its basis a collection of 67 bronze camel figurines kept in the Five Continents Museum in Munich of which most will be published here for the very first time. In addition to these objects from other museums will also be taken into consideration."The study intends to analyse the depictions of camels (dromedary) from ancient South Arabia and to investigate their style, chronology and meaning. Special attention will be paid to the economic and social relevance of camels and to the question of how far camel caravans can be considered as go-betweens for the cultural exchange with the Mediterranean world. The study will be completed by a compilation of all the relevant epigraphic documents from ancient Southern Arabia concerning camels in order to reveal the importance of this domestic animal."
