Floating Fertility Figurine - Silver Pendant
(incl. VAT - excludes shipping costs)
This pendant has been inspired by a marble Fertility Figure discovered in modern-day Anatalia, Turkey dating back to 5000-4000 B.C. and can be found in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
Its designation as a Fertility Figure suggests that it was used as a devotional object, though the exact purpose and use of fertility figures is a question still open to debate amongst scholars. Could her voluminous yet abstract lower body be a symbol of childbearing?
While some think that these statues represent fertility, others believed that they functioned as “as goddess figures, religious or shamanistic objects, or symbols of a matriarchal social organization.” - Why Prehistoric Venus Figurines Still Mystify Experts

Care
SISTER jewellery is made of 24k Gold-plated 92 Sterling Silver. Gold plating naturally wears off over time, revealing the silver beneath. Avoid contact with fragrances, lotions, rough surfaces and cleaning agents, especially chlorine as it can permanently damage or discolour your jewellery. Make sure your skin is dry before putting on your jewellery. Always remove your gold plated jewellery in the shower, when swimming or exercising and store it in a dry and air-tight place. Clean it gently with a soft cloth only and avoid rubbing. Unlike mass produced jewellery,handmade pieces will almost always have imperfections and each piece will never be identical to another. This uniqueness is part of the beauty of handmade jewellery.
