Tiang Asyera

Tiang Asyera adalah sebuah pohon keramat atau tiang yang berdiri di dekat lokasi-lokasi keagamaan Kanaan untuk menghormati dewi pertiwi Ugaritik Asyera, permaisuri El.[1] Hubungan rujukan sastra antara asherah dan temuan-temuan arkeologi dari patung-patung tiang Yudea telah membentuk kesusastraan debat.[2]
