A LOT OF 2 INDUS VALLEY CLAY GODDESSES. Mehrgarh, c. 3000–2500 BCE H. 5 and 10 cm Provenance Swiss private collection of Baron O.C.V.L (1937-2022) From left to right: Hand-modeled as a voluptuous woman, the deity’s hands positioned under her prominent breasts, as she looks straight ahead. With long hairs and the facial features marked by wide, hollow eyes above a pointed nose. She is modeled with a slender waist, wide hips, and small rounded shoulders, accentuating her deified position in society as the creator of life. The other one, although fragmentary, is even more detailed, with a complex hairstyle partially covered by a veil. Around the neck a collar and an large necklace with a pendant. The breasts are proeminents. Anthropomorphic male and female figures have been uncovered at various sites linked to the Indus Valley Civilization. The female figurines from Mehrgarh are characterized by prominent breasts and intricate headdresses. Their curvaceous forms were intended not to sexualize the female body, but to honor its significance in the creation of life.
