Abstract

Metallic anthropomorphic figures, the subject of this essay, derive from Magan/Makkan i.e. from an Umm an-Nar Period context in al-Aqir/Bahla in the south-western piedmont of the western Hajjar chain. These artefacts are compared with those from northern India in terms of their origin and/or dating. They are particularly interesting owing to a secure provenance in middle Oman.

Translation of abstract (German)

Aus Magan/Makan sind anthropomorphe Figuren, das Thema dieses Aufsatzes, besonders aus der Umm an-Nar Periode in al-Aqir/Bahla, am s�dwestlichen Fu� der westlichen Hajjar-Gebirgskette bekannt. Diese Funde werden mit jenen aus Nordindien in Fragen ihrer Datierung bzw. Herkunft verglichen. Sie sind besonders interessant, wenn man sich mit der Herkunft dieser St�cke im mittleren Oman besch�ftigt.
