This is the Maltese 'Il-Mara il Hoxna'. It was found in the Hal Tarxien temples located in Malta which were built in the Pre-Historic Times. This figure was very popular in that time as the bigger in size you were the richer you are. The design was carved entirely of out tools made out of bones, wood and rocks. Here we can see this sculpture capturing a moment in time and showing us the culture and modernism of that time. Unfortunately we do not know who the designer is but what we do know is that they are pieces which will be kept as Malta's treasures.
