EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable figurine of Asherah, a prominent Canaanite goddess from 999-600 BC. Crafted from clay during the Bronze Age, this exquisite piece now resides in a private collection. Also known as Ashtoreth, Ashera, or Astrate, Asherah was revered as the goddess of fertility and served as the consort to El, the principal god in Canaanite mythology. This figurine would have been worshipped by ancient civilizations as a house deity. The image beautifully captures the intricate details of this female sculpture dating back to the 10th century BC. Its pagan origins are evident through its idol-like appearance and ceramic construction. The earthenware material adds an authentic touch to this domestic artifact that may have held great significance within households during that era. Photographed by eZev Radovan and now out of copyright restrictions, this print allows us to appreciate both the historical value and artistic mastery behind this statuette. It serves as a window into ancient beliefs and practices while showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of its creator.
