L’intérêt de cette stèle votive réside dans le fait qu’elle a‑été taillée en‑forme de signe dit de Tanit. En outre, elle porte, gravé dans sa partie supérieure, le « signe de la bouteille » également apparenté à Tanit. L’inscription est‑une dédicace à Baal Hammon et Tanit faite par un certain Abdeshmoun, scribe (H. 62‑cm, l.‑25‑cm, tophet, Carthage, ive‑siècle‑av.‑J.-C., musée du Bardo). section punique - musée du Bardo

A silver coin featuring, on the obverse, the bust of Juba II, King of Mauretania (25 B.C.–24 A.D.), whose head is covered with a lion’s pelt. An elephant is depicted on the reverse. This coin bears traditional African motifs such as the elephant, and the reference to Heracles (the lion’s skin) recalls the legend tracing the royal family back to Heracles Melqart, thereby establishing and legitimizing a royal cult in the Hellenistic tradition.

Egyptian-style amulets made of silica paste. Intricately crafted, they are often used as pendants for necklaces and are found by the dozens in the richest tombs. Whether imported from Egypt or made locally, they are believed to possess magical powers that protect life, and after death, they watch over the soul of the deceased. They most often depict the eye of the god Horus, or “Udja.” They are rarely more than 2 to 5 cm tall (H.‑8.2‑cm and 7‑cm, Carthage, 5th–4th centuries B.C., Carthage Museum). Punic section

Statue de Déméter en terre cuite, presque grandeur nature, assise sur un trône en posture divine, vêtue d’une robe plissée, la tête coiffée d’une tiare cylindrique en forme de boisseau ou polos, et encadrée d’un voile rigide évoquant une conque. Son culte et celui de Coré furent officiellement introduits à Carthage en 396‑av. J.-C. pour réparer la profanation d’un de ses temples à Syracuse. Très présente dans les sanctuaires ruraux du Cap Bon, on l’y trouve tantôt associée à Baal Hammon et Tanit , tantôt accompagnée de ses parèdres Coré et Pluton, comme à Korba. Elle semble porter la réminiscence d’un modèle dû aux coroplathes siciliens des IVe-IIIe siècles av. J.-C. ( sanctuaire rural près de Korba , fin‑IVe-début IIIe siècle av. J.-C., musée du Bardo ).
