Pazuzu was a divine personification of the southwestern wind, and ruled supreme over other wind demons. As an apotropaic entity, he was considered as both destructive and dangerous, whose power could repel other demons and safeguard homes from their malevolent influence. Phoenician artisans produced many cross-cultural items with Egyptian and Mesopotamian influences.
