Basalt tombstone of Isa B Ahmad al-Akki, Dahlak Archipe- lago, Red Sea, 1188. It is inscribed with Isa B Ahmadi al-Akki
and seven of his forefathers and with verses from the Koran.
The Dahlak Archipelago off Eritrea had been used as a place of exile by the early caliphs. The craftsman, Abd al-Rahman B Abi Harami al-Makki came from a Meccan family specia- lizing in carved tombstones; another tombstone, dated five years later, includes both his nme and that of his nephew,
presumably his apprentice. OA, 1928.3-5.1
