English: A Canaanite "prisoner" tile from the palace of Ramses III in Tell el-Yahudiya (12th or 13th century BC), faience with glaze inlaid in different colors. The shoulder section of the garment worn by this Canaanite man is decorated with gazelles grazing at the "tree of life" (Othmar Keel (translation: Frederick J.
