介绍（中）	中亚西部，现在被称为土库曼斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦和阿富汗北部，在公元前第三个千年末和第二个千年初发现了证明文明高度发达的物品。该地区的文物表明，该地区与西南部的伊朗有联系在中亚为数不多的这一时期的立体图像中，有一群坐在或蹲在平台上的石头女性，穿着饰有图案的长袍，可能是模仿羊毛的。它们总是由柔软的绿色绿泥石或滑石组成，头部是白色石灰石。这个例子有一个典型的抽象形式，无臂的身体和腿由突出的突出部分表示这类人物的挖掘实例来自土库曼斯坦南部的马吉亚纳遗址，那里可能是他们的生产中心。来自伊朗西南部的圆柱体印章上类似的坐着的女性似乎描绘了王室人物。在中亚西部的分隔邮票印章上，出现了一个可能的女性形象，她有时站在动物或神话生物的两侧或坐在上面。这些属性可能预示着神圣的品质。
介绍（英）	Western Central Asia, now known as Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and northern Afghanistan, has yielded objects attesting to a highly developed civilization in the late third and early second millennium B.C. Artifacts from the region indicate that there were contacts with Iran to the southwest. Among the few three-dimensional images assigned to this period in Central Asia are a group of stone female figures seated or squatting on a platform and wearing a robe decorated with a pattern, perhaps imitating sheep's fleece. They are always composite figures of soft green chlorite or steatite, with heads of white limestone. This example has a typical abstract form with an armless body and legs represented by a protruding ledge. Excavated examples of this figure type come from sites in Margiana in southern Turkmenistan, a possible center of their production. Similar seated females on cylinder seal impressions from southwestern Iran appear to depict royal figures. On compartmented stamp seals from western Central Asia, a possible version of the female figure appears where she is sometimes flanked by or seated upon animals or mythical creatures. These attributes could indicate a divine quality.
