Description
Syria - Tell Halaf or similar - ca. 5000 CE (7500+ years old).

Very ample thighs showing she has come to age, wide shoulders with hands to her thighs and simple rounded head. A suspension hole was drilled vertically and this would have been the prized possession of a young woman 7000 years ago! Size: .6" H (1.5 cm)
