The Lion Figurine from Qlaʿ
The only figurative object found in the 1980 salvage excavations at Qlaʿ is a tiny figurine in the shape of a lion, summarily carved in black basalt stone. Although its weight accords with the Judahite sheqel standard, we believe that the lion was an amulet and not a scale weight.
