Tempat-tempat yang terkait dengan takhta-takhta Astarte
Takhta Astarte adalah selusin takhta persembahan nazar "kerub" yang ditemukan di kuil-kuil Fenisia di Lebanon, khususnya di daerah sekitar Sidon, Tirus, dan Ummul 'Amad.[1] Banyak dari takhta memiliki gaya yang sama, dengan kepala kerub pada tubuh singa bersayap di kedua sisinya.[2] Gambar takhta ditemukan di situs Fenisia di sekitar pesisir Laut Tengah, termasuk plakat gading dari Tel Megiddo (Israel), sebuah relief dari Hadrumetum (Tunisia), dan skarab dari Tharros (Italia).[2]
Naiskos yang merupakan singgasana dengan dua sfinks. Di atas kursi, rongga berbentuk U, dimaksudkan untuk menerima benda bulat di bagian bawah: mungkin baitulos dan mahkotanya. Di sisi wajah, relief imam yang memimpin.[3]
Naiskos sepadan dengan yang sebelumnya. Di bagian belakang terdapat rongga kecil yang dimaksudkan untuk menampung suatu benda. Di samping, dewi bersayap gaya Mesir.[3]
12Davila and Zuckerman (1993), p.77: "Compare the votive throne discovered at Umm el-'Amed (Dunand and Duru 1962: 168 pl. 67). The lower part of the throne is badly damaged, but the heads are preserved. The heads are human, and each bears a head-dress or coiffure that reaches down to the shoulders. They also have stylized beards. On our throne, what remains of the headdresses/coiffures and beards of the cherubs stylistically parallels those of the Umm el-'Amed cherubs. In fact, it seems quite probable that they stem from the same artistic and iconographic milieu. We may further note the cherub thrones depicted on a Late Bronze/ Iron I ivory from Megiddo, the sarcophagus of Ahiram (cf. Pritchard 1969: figs. 332, 456-59, respectively), a relief from Hadrumetum/Sousse (Cintas 1947: pls. 48-49), and a scarab from Sardinia (Bisi 1967: fig. 57). In each of those exemplars the cherubs have a feline body with wings, a tail, and styled hair, but no beard."

↑E. Renan, Mission de Phénicie (1865–1874), p.707 and plate LIII: "Le petit fauteuil représenté planche LIII est une restitution en partie hypothétique de l’ensemble formé par deux fragments que nous avons rapportés (au Louvre, Catal. n° 75 et 76). Le globe ailé, les bras en forme d’aile, les sculptures fines, quoique très-frustes, du devant sont certains. Les figures des angles sont très-difficiles à agencer." [translated: "The small armchair shown on Plate LIII is a partly hypothetical restitution of the whole formed by two fragments that we have brought back (to the Louvre, Catal. N ° 75 and 76). The winged globe, the wing-shaped arms, the fine, though very rough, carvings on the front are certain. The angle figures are very difficult to arrange."
