About This Artwork

Molech idol with head of a heifer calf with rear furnace meant for child sacrifice. https://archive.org/details/bwb_T4-APV-438/page/75/mode/2up pg.74 Text: This is an idol named Molech. A great many people used to pray to this idol. It had the head of a calf, and was made of brass, and it was hollow inside. There was a place under the image to make a fire. When it got very hot the wicked people used to put their little children in its arms. The little children were burned to death there. This man in the picture is just going to put a little child in the idol’s arms. Other men are blowing on trumpets and beating on drums, and making a great noise, so that no one can hear the poor little child cry.
