Abstract
Abstract. This paper presents a small assemblage of “violin-shaped” anthropomorphic figurines from Tel Tsaf, dated to the Middle Chalcolithic period (5300-4500 BC). Analysis of the technology, iconography and spatial context of the assemblage, as well as comparable figurines from other sites, helped in understanding the assemblage and its place within the evolutionary sequence of ancient Near Eastern artistic imagery. In addition, the possible use and symbolic significance of the figurines are briefly discussed.
