Male, aggressive deities are still dominant. Naked Goddesses gradually disappear. The Solomonic temple lacks specific imagery of a Goddess, or evidence that Yahweh had a female consort. The most important new features are solar symbols, related to the most high God. Nor is Asherah represented in anthropomorphic form in this period.
Solar symbolism is replaced by astral motifs.
This reflects official religion, of an early Deuteronomistic, nationalistic movement, which supported Josiah's reform and rejected the Asherah. Orthodoxy wins Judah now, hence the ban of idols, monotheism, and disappearance of the Goddess' figurines. One would have expected a mention of Gombrich, Wittgenstein, or at least important art-historians of the Ancient Near East. Readers may acquire the impression that every image yields an immediate, easily deducible meaning. It is easy to demonstrate how far the work depends upon texts.
