Ishtar
This Mesopotamian statue dates to 2,000 BCE. Her enormous hips are similar to the bountiful shapes of the Willendorf and Laussel images. She is offering her breasts which also represents nourishment and fertility. Unlike the other 4 images I have mentioned, this statue is of a specific Goddess. Ishtar was a Mother Goddess, and is called the 'Queen of Heaven and Earth.' There are many ancient myths involving Ishtar and the other Deities of the Sumerians.
