Indus Valley Pottery Male Idol - Ancient Fertility Cult Artefact! Circa 3000-2500 BC This standing naked male figurine, with arms at his sides, wears a distinctive flaring cap and collar. His face exhibits bird-like features, with deep recessed eyes, a sculpted nose, and small lips. It comes with a modern, custom-made stand. These figurines, much rarer than their female counterparts, are often associated with fertility symbolism, possibly representing male deities or ancestral figures revered for their role in procreation and abundance.
