They have elaborate headdress and costume. Each fertility goddess is holding bare breasts in cupped hands. Sizes vary from 5 and 1/2 inches to 6 inches high. The items are being sold by Griffin Gallery Ancient Art in USA. A similar item is kept in Shush Museum in Iran [1]. Ancient Elam was a civilization centered in the far west and southwest of modern-day Iran, stretching from the lowlands of what is now Khuzestan and Ilam Provinces, as well as a small part of southern Iraq.
