Phoenician terracotta figurines

Phoenician terracotta figurines are small sculptures made from clay by the ancient Phoenicians, a maritime culture from the eastern Mediterranean. Created around 1200–300 BCE, these figurines often depict gods, humans, animals, or religious symbols. They served religious, ceremonial, or decorative purposes, possibly used as votive offerings or household charms. Their craftsmanship and motifs reflect Phoenician beliefs, daily life, and connections with neighboring cultures. Today, these figurines provide valuable insights into Phoenician spirituality, artistic techniques, and societal practices, and are significant archaeological artifacts illuminating ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
