Pre-Columbian terracotta head, likely of a priest or deity. A break is apparent at the neck, suggesting that this figure had a body at one time, or was attached to a larger object. The head is adorned with a large, braided, trapezoidal headdress. Large, circular earrings hang from the figure's ears. The eyes are heavy-lidded, the nose is wide but broken, and the mouth is open, exposing teeth and perhaps a tongue. The mouth seems formed in a sneer. Clay filler, visible from the back, indicates old repairs.
Terracotta sculpture of a human head. Hand-moulded and light brown-orange in colour, this figure is wearing a thick head covering or headdress containing three large holes and numerous little holes. The headdress was clearly made separately and added to the head before firing. Facial features include slanted eyes, high cheekbones, a broad nose with large nostrils, and a round mouth. There are gaps at either side of the mouth. The nose and mouth are marked with a black substance, which may have formed during firing. The back of this piece is slightly concave, like a mask.
Hand-moulded clay votive figure. Symbolically anthropomorphic, this ithyphallic figure has the rat-like head of an animal, hooves, and an upright human body. Its ears, or antlers, are disproportionately large, and the right one has been broken. A large collar with a simple incised pattern adorns the creature's neck, and this pattern continues part way down the torso. The round eyes, legs, and phallus appear to have been added separately.
Pre-Columbian figure of a seated male, made from a purple stone that may be amethyst. The figure is squatting, with his knees drawn up to his chest, and his arms grabbing his knees. The fingers and toes are outlined with incised lines. The figure appears to have a bald head. The eyes have been created through small slits in the stone, and his nose is fairly large with defined nostrils. His squared mouth has outwardly pronounced lips.
Pre-Columbian anthropomorphic stone sculpture. Head-shaped with incised designs on top. The eyes are slanted outward, topped with large eyebrows, heavy eyelids, and pronounced ducts just below the eyes. The nose is long, and the mouth is squared with puckered lips.
Burnished clay figure of a sitting fowl with holes drilled in the eyes, nostrils, and neck. The flat bottom and wings have been roughly formed. The head of the bird is quite detailed compared to the body. The eyes of the fowl are thickly ringed and there are three round protrusions on the back of the bird's head.
Thousands of small beads threaded onto ten separate strands (parts a-j). Beads include several discs that are white, clear, and terracotta in colour. There are two elongated beige beads, and a few white balls, however, most are steatite or shell in a mixture of dark grey, light grey, black, white, and brown colours, and similar in shape. The beads have been threaded onto loops of black fishing line, making ten strands of similar size, probably holding about three hundred beads each.
A cast bronze sculpture of the Canaanite god, Baal Hadad, wearing a crown with the symbol of Hadad (cross/star in circle). The figure is wearing a short loin cloth decorated with radiating lines and held by a thick belt. His eyes are large and almond-shaped. Each earlobe is pierced at the top and bottom. The figure's right arm is raised and bent at the elbow, and its hand is clenched around a tubular object. The figure's left arm is also bent at the elbow, and the arm is reaching forward with a closed hand. The small opening in the left hand suggests that it may have been holding something at some point.
A cast bronze bull figure. Raised areas on the sculpture indicate the musculature of the shoulders and haunches. The figure's legs join to form posts at the back and front, and the front legs are shorter than the back legs. The figure's ears are perked and the face contains simple incised details.
A cast bronze axe head. The object contains ornamentation around the shaft hole consisting of four stacked human heads on spikes. Three of the heads face the proper right side of the blade, while the top head faces the apex of the blade. All of the heads are adorned with military helmets. The apex of the blade contains a small sculptural element in the form of a crouching animal.
