"Nimrod" is a sculpture made of Nubian Sandstone, sculpted by Yitzhak Danziger in the years 1938–1939. The sculpture serves as a visual emblem of the Canaanism movement in Mandatory Palestine.[1] The sculpture references the figure "Nimrod" from the Bible, which is described as a mythical figure of a hunter, interpreted to be a rebel against God.[2]
