Description
A captivating ancient conjoined figures statuette, this idol stands at 10 cm tall, 5.5 cm wide, and 2 cm deep, or 3.94 x 2.17 x 0.79 inches in size. The statuette is sculpted from stone, suggestive of Near Eastern (North Syrian) to Byzantine Coptic craftsmanship, dating between the 1st and 4th centuries AD. This artifact features two figures joined together, which is a rarity and indicates a symbolic representation that may have been used in religious or cultural ceremonies. The style of the carving, along with the material, points to an era when the region was experiencing a confluence of cultural influences. Such pieces are highly valued for their historical significance and the insight they provide into the religious practices and artistic expressions of ancient civilizations.
