The original figurine (left), appears to show a headdress; but as you can better see, the figurine actually displays a skirt (right) and the headdress is actually covering for the breasts. In Greek mythology, Baubo lifted her skirt to amuse Demeter and the during rituals involving the Eleusinian Mysteries;, women would lift their skirts and sing obscene songs. Possibly, something similar to “Me So Horny” by 2 Live Crew. Baubo is considered the same as Iambe,from which we get–Iambic poetry.
