A group of three silver buttons with representation of the Assyrian-Babylonian Fish-God Dagon; one button with a pair of gods; one with female divinity mermaid Atargatis facing a Capricorn; an one with Dagon apanied by two birds and a pseudo-cuneiform inscription. See Green, A. & Black, J., Demons and Symbols of Ancient Mesopotamia, An illtrated dictionary, London, 1992, pp.35, 56, 65 for discsion and iconography. 32 grams total, 20-24mm; including case 94 x 80 x 34, 106 grams (3/4 - 1; 3 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 1 x 1/2"). Victorian collection of antiquities and tribal art. Acquired circa 2000. Property of a Suffolk gentleman. Dagon (Hebrew: ????) was the Hebrew name of the god Dagan, also known as Zagan, an important Eastern Semitic (Canaanite) deity of fertility and harvest, father of Baal. Also called Ia or Yah, he corresponds to Enki (Ea in Akkadian) of the Mesopotamian religion. His appearance was that of a man rising from an ear of corn but more often that of a bearded man with a fish-shaped lower body. Atargatis was the Assyrian goddess of the moon, feminine powers and water. [3]
