Phoenician Bronze Tanit goddess amulet, 5,4 x 2,9 cm

This bronze amulet is a symbolic representation of the goddess Tanit, who was often represented by a circle on a horizontal line and a triangle or an inverted 'V'. In her human form the goddess was usually represented in the form of a bust of a winged woman, delimited by lotus flowers and a solar and crescent disc. The goddess Tanit is the goddess associated with fertility and love, and consort of the god Baal. She is the equivalent goddess to Astarte, but she changed her name in Carthage, becoming the main deity of this colony.
