Judean pillar figurines are an interesting and specific form of female representation from the Iron Age kingdom of Judah. They fall into a broader category of pillar figurines, which have a pole-like lower body and have been found throughout the Near East and the Mediterranean from the 2nd millennium BCE into classical times. Hundreds of small Judean pillar figurines (JPFs) have been found in Iron Age Judah, some whole, but the majority in fragments, and it is often postulated that they are cult objects, although their purpose is not definitively known.
