Fertility Figurine, Babylonian, Neo-Assyrian period
Terracotta figurines of standing nude women are the most common type of Babylonian votive. Sometimes teh figure clasps her hands in front of her, as seen here, while in other examples the figure holds her breasts or suckles a baby. These mass-produced fertility figurines served as votive offerings or as charms to aid in conception and childbirth.
