For over two millennia (ca. 1400 bc–200 ad), the worship of a god known as Elkunirša is attested. This article will look at the growing evidence for this deity and examine the possibility that an amulet from the ancient polity of Yādiya/Sam al may provide iconographic evidence. A presentation of the amulet will serve as a springboard for the discussion of the deity. After a discussion of all the possible evidence concerning Elkunirša, the article will return to the amulet to draw entailments for its use.
