: OK ....the one you're referring to was perhaps 4 months pregnant,

: 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.
