CANAANITE BRONZE SCULPTURE OF A DEITY
Ancient Large Canaanite Bronze Figurine of A God
Middle/Late Bronze Age 17th -15th Century Bc
17Cm and 530 Grams
Extremely Rare
The Old Testament is full of stories of the false gods of Canaan, of which this is surely one, most likely Ba’al. The deity is presented simply, yet majestically, bearded and wearing a tall, conical hat to designate his power.
the statue projects an aura of strength which makes it easy to comprehend why he caused the ancient Hebrews so much worry.
For a bearded parallel see: Canaanite Gods in Metal, 1976.
