Thanks!

It may not be knowable, but it would be interesting to know if these figurines resembled the mature women of the day or if this was some kind of exaggerated, ritualized view of female fertility.

Colorado tanker: "it would be interesting to know if these figurines resembled the mature women of the day or if this was some kind of exaggerated, ritualized view of female fertility."

Assuming the male brain in those days was similar to ours, you have to think those were idealized visions of feminine pulchritude.
Sure, fashions change, but what were those old guys thinking about?
