背面描述	Owl standing right with head facing front, rendered in imitation of the classical Athenian owl type. An olive sprig and a crescent symbol appear behind the owl, with an additional crescent positioned before it — local Arabian iconographic additions distinguishing this issue from its Athenian prototype. The design occupies an irregular, roughly circular flan typical of hammered fractional coinage of this period and region.

附加信息	The Sabaean Kingdom issued coinage largely in imitation of Athenian types, part of a broader Arabian practice of adopting Greek monetary conventions to facilitate trade along the incense routes connecting southern Arabia to the Mediterranean world. These fractional pieces — the smallest denominations in the Sabaean series — circulated primarily in commercial rather than tribute contexts, passing through the hands of frankincense and myrrh merchants operating out of Marib. SNG ANS 6 #277 places this piece within a tightly documented sequence, though precise die studies for the fractional Sabaean series remain incomplete.
