Below the dhow, the dual date inscription '١٤٣٨-٢٠١٧' appears in Arabic numerals along the lower field, presenting both the Hijri and Gregorian calendar years. |

| Additional information |

The magnetic property is the tell — it separates this type cleanly from its brass predecessors and is the fastest diagnostic tool for attribution in hand.
