According to Oscar White Muscarella, archeologist and long-serving member of the Department of Near Eastern Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the motif of a female clasping her breasts (as seen in the art across a multitude of cultures throughout the ancient Near East) is usually associated with fertility, and thus the term “fertility tube” is alternatively used to describe these objects. For a similar example, see no. 238 in Muscarella, Bronze and Iron: Ancient Near Eastern Artifacts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
