Anthrophomorphised(?) waterbirds incised with V's and chevrons (multiple V's). According M.Gimbutas (The Language of the Goddess, Harper & Row, San Francisco, 1989, page 5) "the decorations of the figure (right) serve to emphasize her pubic triangle, and thus his divine generative functon" (Mezin, Ukraine, 23 000 B.C.). Are they just waterbirds with the heads oriented down, with feathers stilized as shevron, and V-shape tails?

Schematic clay birds "with chevrons, triangles and other symbols of the Goodess" - Malta, midd-3rd mill. B.C. (after M.Gimbutas: The Language of the Goddess, Harper & Row, San Francisco, 1989, page 9)

Bird footprints: duck and wild turkey, and some bird feathers.

Set of symbols compiled from markings on hundreds of Bird Goddess figurines. (after M.Gimbutas: The Language of the Goddess, Harper & Row, San Francisco, 1989, page 12) Are some of them derived from bird footprints of feather patterns, or snake traces?
