Lot 0 - LOT OF ANCIENT WESTERN ASIAN CARVED EYE IDOL FRAGMENTS

A lot of two ancient Western Asian carved stone eye idol sculptural fragments. Shaped like a weight surmounted by two eyes, much scholarly design has been proposed about their meanings. These so called Eye Idols are seen by some scholars most likely as votive figurines of worshipers. It is noted that the state of open eyes on a religious idol symbolized devotion to the gods. Thus these stone eye idols might have been some of the earliest devotional objects. The lot also includes an idol figure with an expressive nose. Circa: 2nd to 1st Millennium BC. Archaeological Finds And Historical Relics, Sculptures and Figures, Religious Objects.
