Romania Neolithic Goddess (almost Cycladic in style)

Please note the intricate geometric pattern demonstrating a high skill and concern for an intricacy.
The whole aspect is almost Cycladic in style, of a kind that one finds in Eastern Mediterranean.
All in all one has the impression that one looks at a precursor of an embroidered Romanian blouse covered in delilcate stitches.

Note the decoration on this clay artefact which precedes by several millenia the intricate but not dissimilar pattern of sticthes that decorate the Romanian ethnic blouses.

Dobrogea Neolithic Goddess of Fertility
Note the elongated (phallic) neck the prominent hips and bosoms - al symbols of fertility.
The missing head is a rule (no need to think - just to procreate!). A few incisions decorate the body.

NOTE:
Most of the above 160 Romanian women, in the best tradition of versatility, are true polymaths and therefore nearly each one of them falls in more than just one category, often three or more. This explains why adding the numbers of the 57 individual categories bears no relation to the actual total of the above 160 women included in Blouse Roumaine.
