Fertility Goddess, 1st century AD

Pakistan, Gandhara, reportedly Charsada, early Kushan Period (1st century-320)

Terracotta, Overall: h. 26.70 cm (10 ½ inches)

Female figures fashioned from terracotta were found at large man-made pools of water in early Buddhist sacred compounds. They indicate the importance of art and rites associated with fertility and childbirth among the Buddhist laity, of which women were a major component. The wreath, small breasts, and gentle modeling of her full-hipped body associate this figure with Greco-Roman imagery.
