Pagan Gods: Moloch
Sargent, John Singer, 1856-1925 · [ca. 1890–1895]
In this, the western half of the Pagan Gods arch, the bovine-headed god of material elements, Moloch, supports a crown of the sun with its gilded rays radiating downward to touch the earth in the form of extended golden hands. Below Moloch lies the outstretched body of a mummified pharaoh.
