Steatophygous Fertility Figure.
Nearly 3” high with most of the original painted decoration
remaining. Circa 5th century B.C. and
from the place where civilisation originally started; Mesopotamia and the
ancient near East. I’m told these are
always repaired (because they were broken as part of the fertility ritual
6,000+ years ago) but if this one is, it’s a good repair. £145
