Fertility figurine from Mehrgarh, Indus Valley, c.3000 BCE.

Summary edit

Dated to c.3000 according to Barbier-Mueller Museum [1]

English: Female figure from Mehrgarh, circa 3000 BCE made of terracotta, 9.5 cm (3¾ in) high, in Barbier-Mueller Museum. Part of the Neolithic ‘Venus figurines’ tradition, this figure's abundant breasts and hips suggest links to fertility and procreation. Her hair was probably painted black; brown ochre would have convered the body, and her necklace was probably yellow. Her seated posture, with arms crossed under the breasts, is common throughout the region, as is her extravagant hairstyle
