I got this Canaanite
scarab. It depicts a kneeling woman in front of what seems to be an
altar with a crown on her
head. There are what seem to be 2 letters in Proto-Hebrew script above the
altar. It seems to be the letters are Gimel and Lamed. I think it's dated to about 1000 BCE, but I am not sure. Here are my questions:
1) Is this really Canaanite and is the date 1000 BCE correct?
2) What
stone is this made from? It's green looking.
3) Is it really Gimel Lamed above the
altar or it's just lines just like the crown?
4) If it is Gimel Lamed then what can it possibly stand for?
3) Any info about the scarab's origin, who made it, who it belonged to, any others like this one found and where, etc...
Thanks
Eli
