- catalog abstract ""These lectures investigate the numerous miniature baked clay images from Canaan, Israel and Judah (c. 1600-600 B.C.). They constitute vital evidence for the imagery and domestic rituals of ordinary people, but significantly are not explicitly mentioned in the Old Testament. These terracottas are treated as a distinctive phenomenon with roots deep in prehistory and recurrent characteristics across millennia. Attention is focused on whether or not the female representations are worshippers of unknown deities or images of known goddesses, particularly in Early Israelite religion."--Jacket.".
