...She's meant to be giving birth?

Doesn't that involve, like, babies coming out?

This is-- as you said-- just a pregnant woman presenting her orifices.

There are african tribes that've done lovely statues of giving birth, though most of those women were standing up. (It strikes me that'd look really strange if the baby were breach...)

But, honestly. Until I read your commentary, I figured it'd be the on-the-back knees-bent pose with a baby coming out. And the statue set on a bearskin rug.

...Wow.

People these days. Wow.

(The way she has her hands on the bear's head, if cropped properly I might believe it was a statue of her pegging a bear...)
