Tronos de Astarte

Os Tronos de Astarte são aproximadamente uma dúzia de tronos de "querubins" ex-voto encontrados em antigos templos fenícios no Líbano, em particular em áreas ao redor de Sidon, Tiro e Umm al-Amad.^[1] Muitos dos tronos têm um estilo semelhante, com cabeças de querubins em corpos de leões alados de cada lado.^[2] Imagens dos tronos são encontradas em locais fenícios ao redor do Mediterrâneo, incluindo uma placa de marfim de Tel Megiddo (Israel), um relevo de Hadrumetum (Tunísia) e um escaravelho de Tharros (Itália).

The lower part of the throne is badly damaged, but the heads are preserved. The heads are human, and each bears a head-dress or coiffure that reaches down to the shoulders. They also have stylized beards. On our throne, what remains of the headdresses/coiffures and beards of the cherubs stylistically parallels those of the Umm el-'Amed cherubs. In fact, it seems quite probable that they stem from the same artistic and iconographic milieu. We may further note the cherub thrones depicted on a Late Bronze/ Iron I ivory from Megiddo, the sarcophagus of Ahiram (cf. Pritchard 1969: figs. 332, 456-59, respectively), a relief from Hadrumetum/Sousse (Cintas 1947: pls. 48-49), and a scarab from Sardinia (Bisi 1967: fig. 57). In each of those exemplars the cherubs have a feline body with wings, a tail, and styled hair, but no beard."
