Une approche succincte de la géographie de la région est nécessaire avant d'aborder l'art de ces différents pays. zones de plaine : 1 Temps des villages 1.1 période mésolithique et néolithique (~10.000~à ~5.000) La néolithisation au Proche Orient est remarquablement précoce. La zone où la néolithisation s’est mise en place et s’est cantonnée un certain temps, est limitée par l’arc montagneux que constitue au nord-est le Zagros, au nord le Taurus, à l’ouest la chaîne littorale qui relie l’Amanus au Sinaï.

In fact it is unusual in a number of ways... it's one of the smallest ever found at the site... although this figure has a bulging stomach, it has no breasts... this figure has a hole in the top of the body for the attachment of a head, which is missing. The figurine is complete and undamaged.
" Some of the anthropomorphic figurines have removable heads, in similarity to the headless figures in the wall paintings.

Several of the female-goddess figurines on Malta also show this same design feature.

Bull Worship - The discovery of evidence of 'Bull veneration' at this early time in prehistory is not uncommon.
