A set of statuettes from Priene[1][2], a Greek city on the west coast of Asia Minor, are usually identified as "Baubo" figurines, representing the female body as the face conflated with the lower part of the abdomen, much like a basket full of phalluses, decorated with eyes[3], mouth, and sometimes also legs that appear on vase paintings and also as statuettes.
