A bronze statuette of Baal, chief god of the ancient Canaanites, is one of several recent acquisitions of the Archaeology Museum at Andrews University. The items are on display during April on the main floor of the James White Library and will then be placed in the museum. The statuette of Baal, tentatively dated between the 14th and 12th centuries B.C., was found near Homs in central Syria and was purchased by museum curator and archaeologist Dr. Siegfried Horn while he was in the Middle East last year. It is approximately 10 inches in height. Dr. Horn explained that such statuettes are seldom found in Palestine because nearly all of them were eliminated during the religious reforms of such kings as Hezekiah and Josiah.
