Fertility figurine in unbaked clay
Clay figure, head missing, of a naked woman, with no feet. The pubic triangle is marked with single incised line, and waistline, navel and breasts marked by series of punctures. Such figures are found in burials of men and women, and appear to have been intended to evoke eternal fertility and rebirth.
