Judean pillar figures or figurines are ceramic representations commonly found in domestic contexts in Judah during the Iron Age, particularly in the 8th and 7th centuries BCE. These figurines feature a female form with a prominent depiction of breasts and a simple, stylized shape, often omitting a lower torso. The pillar base, from which they derive their name, serves as a pedestal for the figure.
