fertility symbols
Procreation-representing imagery
Fertility symbols are objects, images, or figures representing reproductive power and abundance.
Common examples include eggs, seeds, rabbits, and depictions of pregnant women or exaggerated sexual organs.
Ancient cultures used them in rituals to encourage human reproduction, agricultural bounty, or general prosperity.
Many persist in modern contexts: Easter eggs and bunnies are fertility symbols with pre-Christian roots.
