Terracotta Syrian Hittite sculpture

"Syro-Hittite terracotta sculpture of a female figure. II millennium BC". Motherhood in ancient cultures was the object of petition and prayer, which is why votive figurines were made in which women implored a productive motherhood. These normally steatopygian figurines, in which the breasts and rounded and feminine shapes stand out, were used as mediation with the goddesses of motherhood and protectors of childbirth. This figure in particular is very special since it combines the Hittite influence of the figures with the face of a bird, with noses in the shape of a prominent beak and the maternal forms.

Very good state of conservation.

Provenance: private collection, England, acquired in 1983. 7.5cm. height
