Indus Valley Seated Fertility Goddess Figure

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Near East, Pakistan/ Afghanistan, Megharth period, ca. 2800 to 2600 BCE. A characteristically bird-faced Indus Valley fertility goddess figurine, positioned in a quasi-sitting pose with hands joined across her abdomen. Created in tribute to the gods and goddesses of the cultures of the ancient Indus Valley, such figurines are found throughout the region, yet few boast such an elaborately decorated presence, including an applied elaborate headdress and coiffure and multi-stranded necklace. It never ceases to amaze us, that as ancient as this figurine is, it continues to emit mystery and wondrous symbolism. Size: 3.75" H (9.5 cm)
