Tanit

Back to shelf
Living conservative Punic grimoire portrait of Tanit in a fully covering Carthaginian robe and mantle, without copied stela signs or later Roman attributes.

Tanit is securely named as a Punic goddess in Carthaginian votive inscriptions, often with the title Face of Baal. The portrait preserves her separate identity from Astarte and omits the so-called sign of Tanit as a copied glyph because its exact attribution and meaning remain context-dependent.
