Foremothers: This series of drawings depicts prehistoric clay figurines dating from some 25,000 years ago. Many historians presume these tiny statuettes are fertility goddesses and think they may have been worn as amulets for protection in childbirth. Women’s images like these appear universally across cultures, with wide variations in local styles. The figures shown here are from Europe and the ancient near east. In the drawings theMered images are superimposed on maps of the areas where they were unearthed.
