A Study of the Deity Elkunirša in Light of an Amulet from Ancient Samʾal
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.
期刊介绍:
Devoted to an examination of the civilizations of the Near East, the Journal of Near Eastern Studies has for 125 years published contributions from scholars of international reputation on the archaeology, art, history, languages, literatures, and religions of the Near East. Founded in 1884 as Hebraica, the journal was renamed twice over the course of the following century, each name change reflecting the growth and expansion of the fields covered by the publication. In 1895 it became the American Journal of Semitic Languages and Literatures, and in 1942 it received its present designation, the Journal of Near Eastern Studies. From an original emphasis on Old Testament studies in the nineteenth century.
