I don't know why, but I have always thought that the figurines were the
"idealized" woman, the fantasy woman, the Pamela Andersen (sp?) of the paleo
age.  They represented how a woman could look if she had all the fruit/food
she wanted.

They seemed to be objects that projected a desire for a steady supply of
food as much as anything else.

I never thought of them as in any way representing how women actually looked
at that time, but I'm a "very far from obese" woman and I'm undoubtedly
projecting my own persona into this.
