专家说明

For another figure with a perforated head, see pl. 45, nos. 1-2 in E. Peltenburg, et al., eds., Figurine Makers of Prehistoric Cyprus. E. Alphas (p. 125 in A. Caubet, ed., Idols: The Power of Images) suggests that the wide hips and bent knees are meant to depict a birthing posture. For similar examples, see nos. 22 and 28 in Caubet, op. cit.
