Phoenician Adoration steles information


The Phoenician Adoration steles are a number of Phoenician and Punic steles depicting the adoration gesture (orans).[1]

In Umm al-Amad, Lebanon, 23 such steles have been found. These date to between 100 and 400 BCE. Many of the steles contain inscriptions; these usually reference religious titles such as "priest", "chief", or "chief of gates". Of the males depicted, most images show the person in a long robe holding a bowl with an elongated handle in the shape of a naked girl considered to be the Ancient Egyptian Cosmetic Spoon: Young Girl Swimming.[1]
