All the know factors show that the figurine has a great symbolic and spiritual value. Generally, literature about this kind of images considers them to be images with divine attributes. To sum up, all its characteristics points towards what, in prehistory, can be defined as an idol.

That's a lot speculation.

I just think the children who escaped Atantis had to have dolls to play with.....
