Phoenician Pottery Fertility God - Tanit

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Ancient Eastern Mediterranean / Western Anatolia, Phoenicia, ca. 10th to 8th century BCE. A mold-made glazed terracotta votive figurine representing Tanit, the Phoenician goddess invoked to bring about fertility, rain in times of drought, and worshipped as a sky goddess who ruled over the celestial realm. Her visage, framed by spiralized locks of cascading hair secured with a narrow headband, displays a classic old-world style with a slender face, almond-shaped eyes, and slender lips. With long legs, wide hips, and hands held to her breasts, she is the embodiment of fertility in ancient Phoenicia and the model for such in other ancient civilizations to come. Size: 5" H (12.7 cm).
