"Sign of Tanit [Tyrian Purple + Punic (Carthage) + Crescent]" Poster for Sale by jorellaf
Sign of the Phoenician/Punic goddess Tanit, consort of Baal-Hamon, goddess of war and mother goddess. Her cult is most often associated with the ancient city and empire of Carthage. The sign is rendered as it appears in some stelae in Carthage (with a triangle—not a trapezoid—body), as well as an amulet from Ibiza (currently at the MAC Barcelona), and similar to a mosaic in Kerkouane. This design is in Tyrian purple, and includes the crescent above the sign. The legend is the Phoenician name for Carthage in Phoenician (QRT ḤDŠT). • Millions of unique designs by independent artists. Find your thing.
