FROM H.-W. KUHN, BETSAIDA/BETHSAIDA–JULIAS (ET-TELL) (VANDENHOECK RUPRECHT, 2015)

The “Lady of Bethsaida” pictured here is a cultic terracotta figurine. Together with an incense shovel and architectural elements recovered from the same area of et-Tell, it points to the existence of a pagan shrine on the site dating from the Hellenistic period.
