From Exhibit Description: "In the Kingdom of Judah, during the 8th and 7th century BCE, female figurines with a molded head, prominent breasts and a cylindrical body are found in many archaeological contexts. These figurines may represent the goddess Asherah. Some scholars suggest they were used in a "popular" form of worship distinct from the official worship of Yahweh." [See Jeremiah 44:19 for evidence of this form of worship].
