A lovely Tel Halaf fertility figure, c. 6th - 5th Millennium BC, the stylized seated female is depicted with a narrow bird-like head surmounted by a wrapped headdress, her knees drawn upward and harms arms supporting her voluptuous breasts. Her body is decorated with banding in stripes in umber, her eyes detailed with radiating lashes. A very attractive example of this classic fertility type with earthen deposits throughout. H: 3 1/8 in (7.9 cm). Ex APN Trading, New York, late 1980’s.
