| Summary: | In spite of the prohibition on images, the religions of ancient Israel and Judah were not without visual representations. The development of the religions of these regions in the period ca. 1200-587 bce (all dates are bce = before the common/Christian era) is discussed by using iconography or visual sources. A selection of materials and their meaning from the Iron Age I (ca. 1200/1150-1000), IIA (ca. 1000-900), IIB (900-700) and IIC (700-587) is presented.1 The million-dollar question that remains is whether the chief Israelite deity may be identified in the iconographical record. |
