"Akbaba"
- "Vulture"
A beautiful
limestone bird - height 6 cm (2.4"). Note the classic
anthropomorphic face - two eyes and a mouth - emerging from the
belly (lower right corner), and the flat base so characteristic of well
detailed ancient sculptures of this kind.
|
Below: Both
sides of the figure showing "reflectional symmetry", a
hallmark of human workmanship.

An apparently sandstone
"Venus" figure, classically and simply in the form of
a not necessarily beautiful female sending forth, birth-like,
the head/face of another creature. Note the detail of the
faces and buttocks. |
|
Another very
typical "Venus", height 10cm (4"). |
