Sculpture
Syria and Palestine (Canaan) were the crossroads of the ancient world. Local artists borrowed and adapted the cultural influences of traders and traveling craftsmen, and created a composite decorative art style of great individuality. This figure, which might represent the Canaanite goddess Astarte, has thick curly hair suggestive of the wigs worn by the Egyptians.
