Good point about the posts, Moss.

I'll keep poking around. I found the article that I was looking for about the wooden idols and I don't see an awful lot of similarity there (to the Sheelas), although the sample is tiny.

There are the frog/female symbols from Catal Huyuk onwards and also lots of birthing figures but they are not really the same as the sheelas which are more about display .
