I remember taking my first archaeology class in college and seeing pictures of statuettes with big breasts and butts and learning that they represented a “cult of fertility”. Only much later did I realize it was just 20,000 year old porn.
One interesting theory we talked about in mine, at least for Venus statues, is perspective. Stand up, tuck your chin down, and look. If this is the view you using to make a statue, this is how it would look like. Especially if you have breasts and a belly in the way.
Legitimately, I came to the comment section to ask if it’s been scanned for a 3d model because I want one, and have a printer or two just waiting to be given something to do.
Nah they’re an animal, Mayans were written about contemporarily which notes their love of dressing up like animals. There’s even a story about the final battle of the Maya where they released a dude dressed up like a crazy fuckin bird.
