STATUETTE Depicting a standing, nude male figure with his feet together, resting on a peg. His left hand rests on his stomach, while his right arm is bent toward his chest and holds a sort of club (?). A mounting peg is visible beneath his feet. The head is characterized by features specific to this type of statuette: an elongated, flattened oval face, a prominent nose, and bulging eyes. The head is topped with a distinctive headdress. This is likely a depiction of a warrior deity. For similar examples from the “Syrian” group of flat-cast warrior gods, see nos. 23 and 27 in Negbi, Canaanite Metal Gods.
