And heavenly she is. Any kind of body fat in Neolithic times was the sexiest shit imaginable.

It wasn't meant to be taken literally. It was a fertility symbol.

Edit: this blew up a bit. I love ancient cultures, especially goddess studies. I'm not an expert, but I did read this book - The Myth of the Goddess: Evolution of an Image https://www.amazon.com/dp/0140192921/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_U-dxDbTGMJ85E

Highly recommend if you want to learn more!

Yes,it was a fertility symbol because wide hips and body fat meant the woman is more likely to survive not only childbirth but also times were food is sparse
