Statuette, about 22 cm. high, sculpted in a serpentine lump and found near Savignano sul Panaro (Modena, Italy) in 1925. The sculpture, now in the Museo Nazionale Preistorico Etnografico Luigi Pigorini in Rome, delineates a female figure in which the bodily attributes reminding to the concept of fertility are emphasized, while the head is reduced to a conical shape. This form of representation seems to hint at an attempt toward abstraction: the generative function of the woman is emphasized whilst the description of her more individual attributes are explicitly neglected.
