Phoenician Pottery figure of a woman, 16,5 x 6,5 cm

This figure is a female representation showing the main elements such as the breasts and the bulging belly. She is giving birth, as can be seen in the protrusion of her belly, in the inclination of her neck due to the effort, and in the paritoria chair in which she is seated. At the moment of childbirth, women pray to the goddess, who is also sometimes represented with a bulging belly, in order to protect the childbirth. *Missing hands Provenance: Aweidah Gallery, Israel, 2014 Previous owner: Documentation at Aweidah Gallery Export authorization from the Israel Antiquities Authority No. 526524 with date 07/08/ 2014 Exhibited: Ifergan Collection, Málaga (2018-2020) Statement seen by Catawiki.
