PHOENICIAN TERRACOTTA TANIT IDOLS WITHIN VOTIVE ROOM

Item Details

Description

Ca. 600 - 200 BC . A gathering of four mold-made terracotta votive figurines of different sizes, representing Tanit. She was the Phoenician goddess invoked for fertility, rain in times of drought, and worshipped as a sky goddess who ruled over the celestial realm. She is draped in a hooded robe standing atop integral votive room or building with open doorway. This votive idol group may have spent some time in the ocean, perhaps as part of a shipwreck in the Lebanese and Israeli cost, evidenced by white calcified marine encrustations across her exterior and hollow interior. For additional information, see Moscati, S. (ed.). 1988. The Phoenicians. John Murray Publishers, London. Size: 195mm x 180mm; Weight: 2.2kg Provenance: Property of a North London gentleman; formerly in a European collection, acquired in the 1980s; found in 1971 from a wreck of a cargo ship off the coast of Haifa, Israel. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
