Abstract
This article revisits the meaning of Upper Paleolithic figurines from Malta. Anthropomorphic figurines show childlike proportions and lack mouths. Archaeological and ethnographic data suggest that the figurines in question represent children, and that the figurines of wingless birds relate to infants or rather, to their “souls.”
