Iron Age Canaanite Astarte Head – Biblical Idol from Ancient Israel
Ancient idols like this Canaanite Clay Goddess Head of Astarte reveal fascinating insights into the spiritual struggles of the First Temple period. Biblical accounts repeatedly condemn worship of such fertility figures. Yet many ancient Israelites still kept these domestic charms for protection and blessing.
Scholars note these red clay busts, measuring 2.5 inches, often appear deliberately broken. This destruction aligned with religious reforms described in the Hebrew Bible. Historians value the artifact because it connects directly to teraphim mentioned in Scripture.
Collectors appreciate its authenticity along with the included display stand, certificate, and IAA export approval. The piece ships directly from Jerusalem.
