This rare exuberant terracotta fertility idol culture celebrated fecundity. She has an opulent poitrine (chest) as the French would say! She has hair falling to her shoulders, a stylized visage with a prominent nose with small eyes and feet apart. A large pectoral decorating the shoulders.
Custom Lucite stand with rounded corners makes a great display
