Statuette of a woman in a sitting position. It has some realistic facial (nose, eyes, chin, and ears) and body (such as a prominent spine) features. The grooves mark eyes. Such an image may correspond to closed eyes. We tend to interpret it as a symbol of a deceased ancestor. An argument in favor of this opinion can be sagging breasts, which emphasize the image of an elderly woman.
Such realistic figurines may be part of the cult of ancestors. In this way, Cucuteni–Trypillia tribes could address (pray) their ancestors after their death.
