The mouldings and wall paintings from Qatalhöyük emphasize the female
(woman’s figure, breasts) and male (bulls, bull’s and ram’s heads) elements in the
Context of birth, life and death. At the same time, they refer to the world in the wild

(leopards, she-bears(?), beer, mountain goats, hunting seenes). ' Their symbolism
Lies undoubtedly in the sphere of protective magic, which is even more recognizable
In the case of some other symbols and signs, like the red or black hands on the
reliefs and the bull's and ram’s heads, oceasionally arranged in a few regulär rows
On the walls of a hause. 61
Clay and stone figurin.es representing animale and humans, mostly womerx, have
Been found in large numbers at many Pre-Pottery Neolithic sites, 6 “ but iconographic
Types were first recognized among the stone and clay anthropomorphic figurines ex-
63
cavated at Qatalhöyük. The bulk of the figurines represent steatopygous females,
Among which two iconographic types can be distinguished: a young woman and
A mature matron giving birth. Some hold up their breasts in a gesture known from
Later representations of a naked goddess from various regions of the Anderst Near
East. The type representing a woman giving birth, shown either squatting or sit-
Ting, is evidenced in various iconographic Variante: either holding the breasts or
Placing hands on thighs, while the body is decorated with a painted omament which
sometimes resembles a leopard s'kin.
The best known is a figure of a woman giving birth, seated on a throne between
64
Two leopards and resting her feet on a skull. By this, she is revealed as a mistress
Of life from birth to death, ruling over the wild beasts as well. Worthy of notice is
Also a unique female figurine, holding up full breasts and with a prominent belly
(pregnant?), while the back depicts an articulated skeleton with a modeled spinal
Column, a pelvis and scapulae that project above sh.oulders, and individual ribs

Hamilton (1996) identified 254 figurines from Meliaart’s old excavations; cf. also Voigt 2000:
Figurines came frorn Hodders current excavations until 1999; see Hamilton 2005.
Meskeli — Nakamura - King - Farid (2008: 143) mention some 1966 examples found up tili the
End of the 2006 season, of which 61 are stone, only 3.1 per cent.

Depicted through diagonal seoring. 6 ’ 5 Two other figurines show the Mistress of
Animais Standing next to a leopard. Similar Images of women of various age — giv
Ing birth, supporting breasts, sitting on a leopard or between two cats, cuddling child-
Ren or small leopards - were discovered at Hacilar layer VI, which was Contempo
rary with the fall of the viliage at Qatalhöyük. All the Hacilar anthropomorphic
Figurines were made of baked clay.
Female figurines underwent sehematizaiion already in the terminal phases of
The Neolithic. Simplified representations of females holding up their breasts, seat
ed, kneeling or squatting, known from, among others, Höyücek near Lake Burdur
west of Bucak ' and Camharman near Yalva$, are recognized as prototypes of the
Violin-shaped idols of the Chalcolithic and the Early Bronze Age (see 1.2).
While much less frequent in the plastic arts of Qatalhöyiik, male figures also
Represent a few iconographic types: a bearded man sitting on a bull, a youth riding
A leopard, an enthroned male figure with a headdress that appears to have been
Made of a leopard skin.
