This Bronze Figurine of a Goddess from Syria, dating to around 1950–1750 BCE, is a remarkable example of early Near Eastern bronze craftsmanship.

The stylized female figure, with exaggerated hips and prominent breasts, reflects fertility symbolism commonly associated with goddesses in ancient Mesopotamian and Levantine cultures.

Her distinctive circular head, adorned with large eyes and a pronounced nose, conveys both abstraction and divine power. The posture—with hands placed on the abdomen or hips—emphasizes fertility and womanhood, themes central to many ancient cults devoted to mother or earth goddesses.

The figure’s minimal yet expressive design demonstrates the aesthetic and spiritual sensibilities of the Bronze Age in Syria, where metalworking was not only a technical achievement but also a medium for religious expression.
