Goddess Is Remoulded
Jerusalem, July 11.
The image of a goddess as yet unknown was made by Israeli archaeologists this summer when they poured molten metal into a stone mould which they had found while excavating a Canaanite temple on a mound rising from the Mediterranean at Nahariya, north of "Acre.
They saw the figurine of a nude goddess. She wore a high pointed headdress flanked by two slender horns. Her hair was long, a diadem appeared on her forehead, three strings of beads adorned her neck. She was long-legged with relatively large-sized head, small breasts, hands joining her thighs and knees touching.
