Sign of Tanit

The symbol has many variants, but the basic form consists of a disc on top of a triangle, separated by a horizontal line, like a schematic image of a person.

Punic stele containing the sign of Tannit were uncovered in the hundreds in the site of El-Hofra in Cirta (Constantine, Algeria) and are showcased in the Louvre Museum.

[1][2] A coin with the sign and a legend ΦΑΝΗΒΑΛΟΣ phanebalos, presumably the Greek form of the Phoenician title of the goddess, i.e. 𐤕𐤍𐤕 𐤐𐤍 𐤁𐤏𐤋‎ tnt pn bʿl, "Tanit the face of Baal (Hammon)", was found in Ashkelon.

The excavations of tophet of Carthage, Sousse and Motya have highlighted the particularly important diffusion of the symbol in the western Mediterranean Basin, although the lack of discoveries on primitive Phoenician land may only be due to continued occupation of sites, making searches more difficult.

For example, it has appeared on the Tanit d'or, the grand prize of the biennial Carthage Film Festival, since its establishment in 1966.
