Numerous clay figures have been discovered in this region east of Belgrade, Serbia, suggesting that there was a fertillity cult and shrine as most of the figures are female and this form of worship was common in Agrarian societies.

Wide hips and, rounded belly and breasts confirm sex. Protruding nose on a triangular face without a mouth. White pigement, or encrustations throughout. Apprx 4-1/2"T x 2"W.
