A very fine Near Eastern terracotta votive group featuring a flat, circular platform with raised edges. The scene is enriched with seven stylised worshippers, each with outstretched arms and placed along the rim. At the centre is a further figure with its arms outstretched as well. All the other worshippers are facing the central figure. Different shaped offerings can be seen on the platform.
