Two minor additions to my Biblical settlement:
First an earth altar to the God of the Hebrews, as built by David in 2 Samuel 24 on the threshing-floor of Araunah in Jerusalem, later to become the site of the Temple of Solomon.
Priests are slightly converted Maccabean rabbis from Xyston. Sacrificial goat also from Xyston.
Another view whilst the sacrifice is being burned. Fire is stuff I bought yonks ago from Gale Force Nine.
An altar to Molech, the Detestable god of the Ammonites, which could equally serve Chemosh, the Detestable god of the Moabites. Either of these Detestable gods prefer children to goats...
I'm not at all sure where these figures are from, the priestesses may be from Donnington. The idol is an ancient Citadel model.
As always offerings must be burned so that the (Detestable) gods can smell them...
Glad I found your blog.
ReplyDeleteI really like your painting and modelling style.
Look forward to seeing more of your posts!
