These figurines usually portray round, pear-shaped women's bodies, many with large breasts, large hips, and large everything symbolizing fertility, the ability to have many babies.And moving on to Ancient Greece and Rome. The ideal female body should be slim but robust. So you have to have some strength, high, round, useful breasts.
