Women from Byblos

Women II
Statuette of a Canaanite goddess of fertility from Byblos. Dating 18th century BC. It is made of pottery and has a height of 128 cm. It is now in the National Museum of Beirut. Unfortunately, she misses some limbs and one eye. She takes a pose of presenting her small breasts. Her female lower torso is displayed exaggerated by specks between her legs. Compared with the previous image of Anat? gets her face a slightly friendlier image, but not very much.
