  • This study deals with two sculptures of the thunderbolt and the winged goddess Nike or Allat, discovered at Khirbet et-Tannur, which are now displayed in the Archaeology Museum at the University of Jordan. The study focuses first on the concept of the Nabataean thunderbolt, its historical origins and its role within Nabataean religion and art. It also explores the concept of the goddess Winged Nike (Allat), and her role in the Nabataean religious pantheon. Finally, the research examines the technical artistic treatment of the two sculptures.
