520 |a In 1961, Nelson Glueck donated to the Cincinnati Art Museum a large female ceramic figurine which he had obtained in northern Transjordan. Only recently it was discovered that this figurine is a rattle. The fact that the rattle is anthropomorphic, coupled by its uncommonly large size for a rattle, renders the artifact unique. Unfortunately, the anthropomorphic rattle is unprovenanced. Nevertheless, after confirming its authenticity by thermoluminescence analysis, the authors undertook a search to identify the iconographic tradition and functional context of this artifact. The inquiry includes a brief study of extant rattle-type instruments from the ancient Near East and their cultural significance. A detailed evaluation of the Glueck anthropomorphic rattle, especially its iconography, has led the authors to assign it to an Iron II Edomite cultural milieu, specifically to a religious context. The rattle-figurine probably stood in a local shrine and functioned in cult ritual as a musical instrument and possibly as a representation of a goddess.
