It is well documented that as long as there has been man on this planet, man has looked beyond himself for some source of meaning, IE God. Countless examples of early man's deities and worship can be found from the jungles of South America to the ruins of ancient Greece. Textbooks would have you believe that this pigly monstrosity is one of those examples. In both an art class and an ancient history class this thing came up as one of the earliest examples of humanities idols. Known as a fertility goddess anthropologists would have us believe early man would worship this blob to ensure conception and healthy child birth. The kicker is that this thing has no evidence to support that other than its existence. I posit a different, and it my opinion, more logical and likely scenario. This was most likely some early shot at pornography. If there is one constant throughout the ages it is mans desire to see woman naked as often as possible. More than likely some teenager apprenticing under the local sculptor learned how to do some rudimentary clay work, a little sculpting and access to a furnace was all he needed to impress his pals. I guess their version is possible, but I think mine is far more likely. I mean when you look at something like this.

This is obviously created with reverence and attention to detail, not a combination of parts from the throw away bin.
