The Golden Idol of Babylon - Daniel 3:6 Illustration #50810 (License: Personal Use)

This 19th-century chromolithograph illustrates the biblical scene from Daniel 3:6, where King Nebuchadnezzar commands all peoples to worship a colossal golden statue. The idol is depicted as a seated, bearded figure with wings and a ceremonial headdress, set against a Mesopotamian desert backdrop featuring a ziggurat and palm trees. In the foreground, figures kneel or prostrate themselves, while others stand defiantly-symbolizing obedience versus faithfulness under persecution.
