"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.

History
The sculpture was initially proposed as a Relief for a wall in the Hebrew University, but the proposal was later rejected. The sculpture was exhibited for the first time in 1944 at the Habima Theatre in Tel Aviv. Yitzhak Danziger sculpted "Nimrod" from Nubian sandstone, which was brought from the Nabatean city of Petra in Jordan.
