These early statues stand out as some of the most ancient pieces of figurative art ever created. Male figures can be identified by the weapons they carry, while female figures are easily distinguishable by their prominent breasts and large necklaces. The significance of these statues remains uncertain: they might have served as markers to guide travelers or functioned as grave stones to honor the deceased.
