Fertility figure
The reverse of this oval and slightly convex facial disc is engraved with patterns of simple, partly intersecting lines and triangles. The raised horizontal central line, which divides the face into two halves at eye level, is a particularly distinctive feature. The figure has been blackened. Author: Michael Schönhuth
