Summary
[edit]DescriptionFemale Figurine.jpg |
English: Astarte Figurine. Clay figurines of this type were found in settlements throughout Judah, mainly in private dwellings. Their upper parts were designed in the shape of a woman’s body with ample breasts, often supported by the hands. The heads of many of the figurines were made in a mold, some with wiglike headdresses and others with conical hats. They are commonly identified with the well-known Canaanite deities Astarte or Ashera. The use of such objects was vehemently condemned by the prophets of Israel. In excavations of the City of David in Jerusalem, more than two thousand cultic figurines were found, all of which had been smashed to bits. This may have been connected with the religious reform of Josiah in the late 7th century BCE, the primary aim of which was the abolition of idolatry and the establishment of the centrality of the Temple in Jerusalem.
