Neolithic Terracotta Idol – Ritual Figurine from the Cucuteni-Trypillia Culture

This terracotta figurine, believed to represent a ritual idol, was discovered near the site of an ancient Cucuteni-Trypillia settlement in present-day Ukraine. Shaped by hand and fired using primitive kilns, the figure carries distinct traits of Neolithic symbolism — possibly linked to fertility rites or household protection.

Its form, although stylized, suggests deep spiritual meaning rooted in prehistoric belief systems. The surface still retains traces of original texture, with wear consistent with thousands of years of exposure.

A museum-grade piece, this artifact is ideal for collectors of prehistoric art, spiritual relics, and early Eastern European culture.
