The Insacre Pebble - The Mother Goddess

The insacre pebble is a sculpture of two human figures embracing. Some scholars think that it might have been connected with fertility, but ien hodder takes a different view. The tenderness of the embracing figures suggests not reproductive vigour, but love. And perhaps this is the first moment in human history when a mate could become a husband or a wife.
