I've found the reference now - it's Artemis of Epheseus in the museum at Selcuk, Turkey. Enormous necklace and scores of breasts. See blurred photo at http://www.kusadasitravel.com/museum.html

Connected or not, the themes of multi breasts and large necklaces are certainly similar.

I remember once reading an article about that statue at the temple of Ephesus (Sir David Attenborough, I think >swoon!<) and he proposed that those lines of round things hanging round her torso were not multiple breasts (they're too low for bristols, after all) but were bull's testicles. Lots of 'em! Draped round the figure of the goddess. This would fit quite nicely with bull cult theories.
