For a long
time,
there have been many different forms of representing fertility. Theses statues and or figures then became symbols and were most likely used further to help assist and promote fertility for women during childbirth. Through this exhibition, in chronological order, it explores and promotes the various different forms in which fertility has been represented through statues and figures.
In China, there are extant Neolithic figurines.
European prehistoric figurines of women, some appearing pregnant, are called Venus figurines, because of their presumed connection to fertility. The two oldest known examples are made of stone, were found in Africa and Asia, and are several hundred thousand years old. Many made of fired clay have been found in Europe that date to 25-30,000 BC, and are the oldest ceramics known.
