[citation needed]

McCoid and McDermott suggested that because of the way these figures are depicted, such as the large breasts and lack of feet and faces, these statues were made by women looking at their own bodies. They state that women during the period would not have had access to mirrors to maintain accurate proportions or depict the faces or heads of the figurines. The theory remains difficult to prove or disprove, and Michael S. Bisson suggested that alternatives, such as puddles, could have been used as mirrors.

That’s speculation. And I never said it was pornographic. Neither is the fallout image depicted.

Fair pornographic was the wrong word. Objectifying? How's that?

It’s literally an object…

But no worries, I was mostly joking.
