Yemeni statue to be auctioned in “Tel Aviv” next Wednesday

SANAA, April 13 (YPA) – The researcher Abdullah Mohsen, who specializes in tracking and protecting Yemeni antiquities, has revealed that an ancient Yemeni statue will be auctioned in the occupied city of Jaffa, now known as “Tel Aviv,” next Wednesday.

Mohsen stated in a post on the X platform on Sunday that a small bronze statue of a Yemeni sphinx will be offered for sale in Tel Aviv. He explained that the statue comes from the collection of Jewish antiquities collector and jeweler Shlomo Moussaieff, who lived between 1925 and 2015.

It is worth noting that Moussaieff, who was born in Jerusalem (Quds) and moved to Britain in 1963, spoke Arabic and collected more than 60,000 artifacts during his lifetime, including hundreds of Yemeni antiquities.
