Neolithic Sculpture

Neolithic sculpture refers to carved or shaped artworks created during the Neolithic period (around 10,000 to 2,000 BCE), marking early agricultural societies' transition to settled life. These sculptures often include figurines, reliefs, and megalithic stones, primarily serving religious, ritual, or symbolic purposes. They reflect daily life, beliefs, and social structures of ancient communities. Notable examples include fertility figurines like the Venus figurines, which emphasize fertility and abundance. These artworks demonstrate early human creativity and offer insights into their spiritual practices, societal organization, and connection to nature during this significant cultural era.
