A NEOLITHIC STONE SCULPTURE OF INTERTWINED HUMAN FIGURES, CIRCA 5000–3000 BC. - A carved stone sculpture depicting two stylised human figures intertwined in a compact, abstract composition. The figures are shown embracing or entwined, with rounded limbs and simplified anatomical features characteristic of prehistoric artistic traditions. The sculpture is carved from a single piece of stone and displays a smooth weathered surface with areas of natural encrustation and age-related wear. Such abstract anthropomorphic forms are associated with Neolithic fertility, kinship and ritual traditions, reflecting early symbolic representations of human relationships and communal identity. The compact arrangement and highly simplified modelling emphasise the sculpture's symbolic rather than naturalistic character. H: Approximately 10cm
