A Stone Anthropomorphic Fertility or Cultic Idol, Possibly Ancient.
A vertically oriented anthropomorphic stone figurine carved in a highly stylised and abstract manner. The figure is rendered with an enlarged, rounded head set above a compact torso, with pronounced breasts and a rounded abdomen, emphasising fertility-related attributes. The arms are schematically indicated, bent and held close to the body, while the lower section tapers into a simplified leg or pillar-like base, allowing the figure to stand upright.
H: Approximately 13.9cm
Provenance: Private collection from a distinguished British gentleman.
