Human Figured Pottery Vessel- Iran - 2nd millennium BC

I took these photos recently in Museum of Ancient Iran. Many people are aware of Woman of Willendorf, which is a statuette of a female figure estimated to have been made around 25,000 BC in Europe. This remarkable item with similar attributes was found in Northeastern Iran years ago. It seems for ancient people, woman's body was more sacred. There are Similar objects that I will share later. The following information were printed out on the card:

 Human Figured Pottery Vessel
