| Summary: | This interdisciplinary volume is a 'one-stop location' for the most up-to-date scholarship on Southern Levantine figurines in the Iron Age. The essays address terracotta figurines attested in the Southern Levant from the Iron Age through the Persian Period (1200-333 BCE). The volume deals with the iconography, typology and find context of female, male, animal and furniture figurines and discusses their production, appearance and provenance, including their identification and religious functions. While giving priority to figurines originating from Phoenicia, Philistia, Jordan and Israel/Palestine, the volume explores the influences of Egyptian, Anatolian, Mesopotamian and Mediterranean (particularly Cypriot) iconography on Levantine pictorial material. |
