Female Figurine
22th-21th millenium BC
Mammoth ivory
H 8.9 cm

This stylized figure is flattened, the head round with a wide, flat face with
eyes and nose marked. Incised lines convey breasts, arms, legs and
genitalia. Such stylization and generalization in representing women are
characteristic of the Malta artistic tradition.
