A statuette thought to represent the Aztec goddess Xochiquetzqal. The goddess is depicted in the act of giving birth, a representation uncommon in our present archeological record. In fact, recent scientific analysis revealed the Dumbarton Oaks statuette to be a 19th century fake. To date, one of the only real examples of a fertility goddess giving birth is a baked clay figurine made some 8,000 years ago and found on a site in present day Turkey.
