This is a baked clay votive figurine of woman playing a tambourine. The curls of her hair show a Greek influence. The Canaanite traditions of terracotta figurine manufacturer were continued by the Phoenicians, both at home and in the colonies. Some might have been made as votive offerings, but many clearly had an ornamental value. Phoenician, 6th century BCE. From Grave 2 at Tharros, Sardinia, modern-day Italy. (The British Museum, London)
