Fertility figurine in unbaked clay
Clay figure of a woman, highly stylised, upper part only surviving. The breasts, double necklace and nose were modelled of separate pieces of clay, and the ears are pierced to receive ear-rings. Such figures are found in burials of men and women, and appear to have been intended to evoke eternal fertility and rebirth.
