The Neolithic Era

	The Dreamer of Malta - 4000 BC The Dreamer is lying on her side on a low couch, her right forearm underneath her head, the other draped across her breast. She is ample-hipped and topless, and dressed in a full-length, bell-shaped skirt. She appears to be asleep, almost visibly dreaming. It is possible that the figure was part of a ceremony of dream incubation. Price: £60.00 / $110.40


	Venus of Willendorf - 30,000 BC The Venus of Willendorf was found by the researcher Szombathy in 1908 in Austria and is made from limestone with some red pigmentation. She represents one of the oldest known sculptures dating from 30,000 years old. She represents the Earth and its fertility and continuation of life. But she is more than just a fertility symbol - she is the archetypal Great Mother, she is Gaia, the Mother Goddess, the Living Earth, the universal female principle. Price: £65.00 / $119.60


	Cucuteni Hermaphrodite figure - 3000-5000 BC This is a very interesting find. It originates from the Cucuteni culture dated 5,000 to 3,000 BC, from the Romanian and southern Ukraine area of south-eastern Europe between the 5th and 4th millennia. Price: £45.00 / $82.80


	Peterborough style Neolithic Bowl The main pottery tradition of the middle and late neolithic era was the Petersborough tradition, beginning around 3500 BC and continued to the end of the period. It originally developed in the lower Thames valley, but became the standard ware over much of Britain by the late neolithic, with many small local variations. Price: £75.00 / $138.00


	Neolithic Dish Price: £75.00 / $138.00


	Neolithic Bowl Ebbsfleet One of the early styles in British pottery were the Ebbsfleet style from Windmill Hill. This is a heavy, course, round-based vessel with a well defined shoulder. By 3300 BC, Ebbsfleet was in use from Dorset to Yorkshire. Price: £45.00 / $82.80


	Bronze Age Beaker A new pottery style gave name to a new kind of people, the Beaker folk, distinguished by their shorter, more rounded skulls, who originated from the Lower Rhine area of Germany. Their tendency to bury small, distinctively bell - shaped beakers with their dead gave them their name. These Beaker folk are contemporary with the people who built Stonehenge and other stone-age monuments. Price: £37.50 / $69.00
