Female Figurine

This is a schematized female statuette. It has slender proportions and stands on two folded legs. The edge of the head is decorated with small piercings, which together form a "nimbus". The shoulders and hips are decorated in the same way. At the bottom of the abdomen, we can see the womb marked with an incised decoration in the shape of a triangle. Slender proportions and small breasts may mean a representation of the goddess as a young girl. In addition, the elongated nose formally resembles a beak, which may be a sign of the syncretic image of the Bird -Goddess. This sacred image is one of the oldest not only for the Cucuteni–Trypillia tribes but also for Europe in general.
