Stone Age Goddess Idol Collection. Neolithic Period, circa 6th-4th millennium B.C. or later. Group of three carved and polished figurines with rounded heads and broad shoulders, folded arms resting on each side of the protruding belly, legs folded beneath the body; each mounted on a custom-made stand. Cf. Morris, D., The Art of Ancient Cyprus, Oxford, 1985, figs.108-109, p.119, for similar idols; Various, Idoles, Au commencement etait l’image, A la Reine Margot, 22 Novembre 1990-28 Fevrier 1991, Paris, 1990, figs.10-11, for similar. 1.65 kg total, 8.5-18 cm including stand (3 3/8 - 7 1/8 in.). Most scholars consider these as symbols of the fertility cult and as evidence of the existence of a matriarchal society as a form of organisation of the earliest human society. The people of the Stone Age may have considered figures such as this to represent women and mothers with their life-giving powers, or as depictions of the ancestors. From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D’Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate number no.12159-217186.

Stone Age Animal Idol Group. Neolithic Period, circa 6th-4th millennium B.C. or later. Comprising three carved and polished stone figurines, possibly representing bovines or pigs, with stylised heads and stub legs; each mounted on a custom-made stand. Cf. Morris, D., The Art of Ancient Cyprus, Oxford, 1985, fig.342, p.212, for a similar idol; Various, Idoles, au commencement était l’image – 22 Novembre 1990 – 28 Février 1991, Paris, 1990, fig.11, for a Neolithic sculpture in similar style; Nanoglou, S., ‘Representation of Humans and Animals in Greece and the Balkans during the Earlier Neolithic’ in Cambridge Archaeological Journal, 18, 2008, pp. 1-13, fig.3, nos.2-7, and fig. 6, for similar. 952 grams total, 9.6-10.5 cm including stand (3 3/4 - 4 1/8 in.). Animal figurines seem to be a recurring feature in the earlier Neolithic settlements, in the Balkans and in the Levant. It is significant that in the Neolithic Mediterranean the depicted animals seem to be domesticated, thus suggesting that its reference points were within the confines of the community. From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.
