"The most spectacular figurine ...depicts a seated figure and was hailed as a typical Catalhoyuk 'Mother Goddess'. In fact it is unusual in a number of ways... it('s) one of the smallest (figurines) ever found at the site... although this figure has a bulging stomach, it has no breasts... this figure has a hole in the top of the body for the attachment of a head, which is missing. The figurine is complete and undamaged."
