« Last post by Britannicus on April 20, 2024, 02:22:14 pm »It does match the British Museum's Burney Relief that you illustrate, including what could be owls (my "altars") and the rod-and-ring symbols in her hands (if that is what they are). But the Burney Relief (c. 1800 B.C.) is much, much older, and the figure has been described as being Lilith, Ishtar, or Ereshkigal, but never Asherah.
Has anyone come across such little metal depictions of goddesses from pre-Islamic Arabia?
