Item Details
Description
Presenting a Neo-Babylonian terracotta figure of the fertility goddess Astarte, this piece stands at 7 cm (2.76 inches) tall, 3 cm (1.18 inches) wide, and 2 cm (0.79 inches) deep. The goddess is depicted in a traditional pose, arms bent with hands clasped below the breasts, signifying fertility and femininity. Notable for its time, the facial features including the nose and eyebrows are naturalistically sculpted, and the headdress is intricately detailed, adding to the figure's cultural and historical value. This artifact offers a profound glimpse into the religious iconography of the ancient Neo-Babylonian era.
