| Title: | Dancing figurines, perhaps snake goddess dance |
|---|
| Notes: | As Psalm 149 recalls, dancing, singing, and rejoicing were part of the religious practices of the ancient Israelites. This group of clay figurines from the thriving bronze age culture of Crete, are expressive with delight. Although not Israelite, they offer a contemporaneous Middle Eastern context of universal expression. |
