Mar 12 - The 'Throne of Astarte' in a temple or shrine to Astarte (4th cent. B.C.), Temple of Eshmoun complex (Phoenician), near ancient Sidon
Those are headless winged sphinxes on either side of this largest throne of Astarte extant, and the only one in situ. (I saw a few more in the National museum in Beirut.)
