| Canaanite bronze female fertility goddess |  |
The nearly flat figure is incised with a wide pubic triangle, legs and feet held close together whilst her hands are held across the body below two small raised breasts. The round head is robustly modelled with triangular nose and large compressed oval eyes beneath the prominent brow. A tang to the base of the feet allows it to be inserted into another element |
