London auction lists 14 rare Yemeni artifacts
Yemeni researcher in antiquities, Abdullah Mohamed Mohsen, revealed that 14 rare Yemeni archaeological pieces are to be auctioned at the Apollo Fine Arts auction in London, scheduled for late September and early October 2026. The items include statues of bulls, human heads, funerary objects, stone and bronze vessels, a gold ring inscribed with an Sumerian script, and a large piece of alabaster depicting a bull, as well as a marble boat. Additionally, there is a female statue and two human heads. It is worth noting that some of these pieces match entries in databases of missing artworks, although the sources of some remain legally unclear. The researcher called on Yemeni authorities to take action to recover these pieces, emphasizing that recovering even a single artifact is more valuable than media activity or seminars.
