Rare Collection of four Terracotta Female Fertility Goddess figures, Mehrgarh Culture, Indian - This rare collection of four terracotta female fertility goddess figures originates from the ancient sites of the Indus Valley Civilization, including Mehrgarh (c. 3300-1300 BCE). Hand-molded in fired clay, each figure displays stylized facial features, prominent breasts, and distinctive headdresses, symbolizing fertility, motherhood, and protective divine power. Such figurines were commonly associated with household ritual practices and reflect the spiritual and artistic traditions of early South Asian civilizations. Their primitive yet expressive forms highlight the craftsmanship and religious beliefs of one of the world's earliest urban cultures. See photos for more details and sizes
