The "shams," a fortune (protective goddess)
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Upper half of a votive stela representing a winged human figure in profile, with long curly hair on his shoulders. The figure, wearing a pleated skirt, holds in the right hand an unidentified object, constituted by an linear element ending in a ring. This object, showing regular notches, could be interpreted as a rope ending in a noose. A quiver is hanging below the left arm. The figure, identified by the inscription, represents the goddess Shams, in her aspect of protective deity (as shown by the wings) and without sex’s connotations. She is inserted by Robin among the minor deities, definable as Fortuna (Robin 2012 a: 72-73). This sacred figure, represented according to the hunting iconography, can be interpreted as Shams in the role of "hunters' guardian-angel" (Antonini de Maigret 2014: 240).
The stela is perfectly comparable to MṢM 213. |
