Stele of Baal with a thunderbolt. Currently in the Louvre (Room 301, Sully wing, Level 0).  This stela was found in Ugarit, modern-day Ras Shamra on the Syrian coast, which was the capital of a prosperous kingdom in the 2nd millennium BC. It depicts Baal, the god of storms, who wields a weapon that unleashes thunder and rain. The lance he thrusts into the ground evokes thunder striking the earth. The leaves sprouting from the lance recalls the vegetal world.
