Figure of Fertility Goddess

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Figure of Fertility Goddess by unknown artist. The image shows a small, blurry, stone or clay statue of a woman. The statue depicts a female figure with a large head, small breasts, a narrow waist, and long legs. The figure's face is largely indistinguishable due to blurriness, but appears to have a nose and eyes. The figure has no arms below the elbows. The entire statue appears to be uniformly colored with mottled brown, green, and beige tones. The background behind the statue is plain white.
