Abstract
Forty-nine Iron Age II anthropomorphic and zoomorphic clay figurines and vessels were found at Tel Reḥov. Clay was an inexpensive material and small figurines were a common item; yet, this small assemblage still holds surprises. All the figurines were published in Saarelainen and Kletter 2020. Here we present a selection of the figurines in order to illustrate their variety and aesthetic appeal, and also to demonstrate the difficulties in studying and interpreting them. What do we see in them? Images of powerful, but nearly forgotten deities? The faces of bygone generations (and of their animals too)? Or, perhaps, portrayals of important priestesses and warriors?
Tel Re发现了49个铁器时代II的拟人化和动物化泥人和器皿ḥov。粘土是一种廉价的材料，小雕像是一种常见的物品；然而，这个小小的组合仍然让人感到意外。所有的雕像都发表在Saarelainen和Kletter 2020上。在此，我们挑选了一些小雕像，以说明它们的多样性和美学吸引力，并说明研究和解读它们的困难。我们在他们身上看到了什么？强大但几乎被遗忘的神的形象？过去几代人（以及他们的动物）的脸？或者，也许，重要的女祭司和战士的形象？
