She wears a blindfolding hood on the head which is known from other figurines too (some wear some fiber straps that end up as hand cufs), but what is more interesting is that her description (pendulous breasts and blindfolding head gear) is found in the Pyramid texts which were written close to twenty thousand years after the figurine had been made.
These sculptures depict a special kind of women that did exist, fat as shown and with hood on the head but the…”illustrious” insist on “fertility idols”!!
