A TERRACOTTA MODEL OF A TEMPLE
Iron Age I, 11th-10th century BCE. 30 cm high, 17 cm wide, 13 cm deep.

In very good condition and very rare. For a similar temple model but with tambourine players pillars, see: Pierre Amiet et all, Der Königs Weg, 9000 Jahre Kunst und Kultur in Jordanien un Palästina, p. 128-30. Ex S.M. collection, Herzliya Pituah.
