## Image Caption

A marble figurine from the Cycladic islands, c. 2400 BCE. The posture and incised details are typical of [Cycladic sculpture](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/457/cycladic-sculpture/) and the swollen belly may suggest pregnancy. The function of the statues is unknown but they may represent a fertility deity. (J.[Paul](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Paul/) Getty Museum, Malibu, USA).
