Baal Recreation is pewter cast mounted on a wood base. The total height is about 5.25 inches. Baal is the storm god who controls the thunder and lightning. Baal is standing with a short loincloth on, in contrast to El who is usually pictured sitting in a long robe. Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal (I Kings 18). Tablets discovered at ancient Ugarit give us stories about El and Baal. See Stories from Ancient Canaan by Michael David Coogan.
