Holy Trinity Stela Venerating Asherah/Qedesh* 

Asherah/Qedesh* is depicted as the central figure on this Holy Trinity Egyptian stela dating to ~1304-1237 BCE. 

Inscriptions identify the goddess and enumerate her epithets as "Queen of Heaven," "Mistress of All the Gods," "Eye of Ra" and "Without Her Equal.

In the upper register, Asherah/Qedesh* stands naked upon her trademark lion, holding lotus flowers and a snake/serpent. She is crowned with a crescent-moon, an abacus and a solar disk. 

Asherah/Qedesh* is flanked by gods - the erect** Egyptian god Min (left) and the Syro-Palestinian god Reshep.
Two worshippers kneel with offerings and upraised hands of adoration on the bottom register.
