Ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate to early Late Dynastic Period, 22nd to 26th Dynasty, ca. 943 to 525 BCE. A hand-built faience female figure presenting nude with arms held aloft above her head. Above her black-painted coiffure is a vertically striped basket, perhaps filled with offerings or other accoutrements. Her arms and legs bear dozens of black stripes while her pubis is adorned with a solid panel of black pigment similar to her nipples, eyes, and hair. Though figures like this example were typically identified as concubines and buried with men in ancient Egypt - as it was believed to ensure the man's fertility and sexual pleasure in the afterlife - scholars now posit these figures as fertility symbols kept by both men and women to enhance one's fertility/virility, even in the afterlife.
