Image of Neolithic figurine representing a woman seated on a high chair holding tenderly a child, the "Nurse" (Kourotrophos) (4800-4500 BC). The group depicts a mother just as she prepares to suckle her baby. It is a unique work.It breathes vigour and simplicity, but also sensitivity and tenderness, so that the absence of the mother's head is not immediatelly noticeable.

Displayed in National Archaeological Museum of Athens
