fertility symbol
Procreation good-luck charm
A fertility symbol is an object, image, or figure representing reproductive power or abundance.
These symbols appear across cultures and throughout history—from ancient goddess figurines to eggs, seeds, and phallic forms.
They may be used in rituals, art, or decoration to invoke or celebrate procreation, agricultural plenty, or creative energy: The Venus of Willendorf is one of the oldest known fertility symbols.
