Prehistoric figurines like that I’m counting as inadmissible because we don’t know what they were for. It’s common to call them “Venuses” and something something fertility totems but nobody knows for sure what they’re for or why they were made. They could have been anything from goddess totems to self-portraits to wank dolls.
Contrast that to portraits of Min on Egyptian temple walls where we have a pretty thorough understanding of their purpose.
