Bronze Female Figure With Bare Breast and Snake Intertwined Around Her LegsDescription
A bronze female figurine with bare breasts and a snake intertwined around her legs. It is from Byblos in Phoenicia (Lebanon) and was made around 800 BC (Iron Age). The best-known Phoenician fertility goddess is Astarte (Ishtar), though the snake cult was not common there. Part of Lovelace Collection.Collections
