Comments: Golden calf used in the 1956 film The Ten Commandments. Preserved in Museo des Cinema in Torino, Italy

 

From Easton: Golden calf, (Exodus 32:4, Exodus 32:8; Deuteronomy 9:16; Nehemiah 9:18). This was a molten image of a calf which the idolatrous Israelites formed at Sinai. This symbol was borrowed from the custom of the Egyptians. It was destroyed at the command of Moses (Exodus 32:20). (See AARON; MOSES)
