This artifact provides us with valuable insights into the artistic traditions and cultural practices of the time. Thought to be associated with mother goddess worship prevalent in ancient societies, this female figurine holds great significance. It symbolizes fertility, nurturing qualities, and perhaps even divine power.

The vibrant paint adorning this sculpture adds an extra layer of beauty and complexity to its overall appearance. Each stroke reveals careful attention to detail and highlights various features such as facial expressions or clothing patterns.
