OK ....the one you're referring to was perhaps 4 months pregnant, and
is more likely to be a "bride" sort of figure. She's hennaed and
harquused.

The Virgin Warrior goddess, Anath, had consorts, and hennaed and
harquused, but was not ever pregnant.

There are some "mother" goddesses, who were depicted as hennaed, but
not pregnant when depicted, that were hung over the beds of women
giving birth.

There are pregnant figures from Catal Huyuk which I'm fairly certain
were hennaed, but it's difficult to prove such. Their hands and feet
were removable (and long since removed at this point) and this would
imply that something was done to them when they were removed. Henna
is plausible in this case. Not proveable though.
