Madonna & Child

There was no question in my mind at first glance of this image on a rock low on the ground...Low enough for children to be able to see and touch it. The arms...normally outstretched in the human figures at this site are positioned to the side of the body...with a strong sense of intention and determination as to the purpose...Mother cradling Child...Imagine having to explain to a child where they came from...Or educating a young woman what she is to expect from that obvious lump in their belly 6,000 years ago....Perhaps this was an early medical diagram...Maybe this designated the maternity section of the camping grounds for the roving clans?
