Summary

Description
עברית: לוחית של כנעני "אסיר" ממצרים, מארמון רעמסס השלישי בתל אל יהודיה (המאה ה־12 או 13 לפנה"ס). כתף בגדו של הכנעני מעוטרת בצבאים ועץ החיים, אשר מהווים סמל לאומי כנעני (מקורות לכך בתיאור התמונה באנגלית).
English: A Canaanite "prisoner" tile from the palace of Ramses III in Tell el-Yahudiya (12th or 13th century BC), faience with glaze inlaid in different colors. The shoulder section of the garment worn by this Canaanite man is decorated with gazelles grazing at the "tree of life" (Othmar Keel (translation: Frederick J. Gaiser), The Song of Songs: A Continental Commentary, Fortress Press, 1994, p. 148). This composite icon was regarded as typically Canaanite – a kind of ethnic marker for the Canaanites (Tallay Ornan, “Let Baʿal Be Enthroned”: The Date, Identification, and Function of a Bronze Statue from Hazor, Journal of Near Eastern Studies 70, 2011, p. 268; JSTOR 10.1086/661261, doi: 10.1086/661261).
