mini-girlz: Neo-Chalcolithic Phalanx Idol 87 x 55 mm Exceedingly rare and original Iberian Neo-Chalcolithic Phalanx Idol. Made of a semi-fossilized Equus Caballus phalanx with incised decoration of eyes and ritual scarifications. This particular kind of idol is associated by the scholars to the Cult of the so-called Eye Goddess, a Mother Goddess often represented in Iberian Neolithic and Chalcolithic idols and whose main characteristic is the disc shaped eyes that sometimes constitute the whole decoration of these idols. Scarifications are often associated with the eyes. > auction.catawiki.com -- source link
