دمية طينية صيداوية : صناعة و أيكونوغرافيا

Abstract EN

The preventive excavations carried out on several sites of Saida have brought to light numerous fragments of terracotta figurines, probably of local production.

There are three categories: divinities (goddesses or gods), human beings (female or male characters, etc.

) and animals.

The largest group, in number and preference, represents the deities and more particularly the mother goddess.

The study is limited to a single copy representing either the Dea Gravida or a monkey with its baby.

An unpublished figurine from the Wastani 1335 site poses the problem of its identity (monkey or mixed creature? ) And its use in ancient Phoenicia.
