The clay sculpture "Dog ū (Mia)" from the prehistoric Jomon period in Japan
Over the years, archaeologists have discovered many different types of clay sculptures - dog ū - dating back to the prehistoric Jomon period in Japan (1400-800 BC). Various forms have been unearthed in northeastern Japan, some sitting, some standing, some with almost no surface decoration, while others, like this example, are known as the "goggles" type, with unique large eyes adorned with colors and complex carved decorations. The popular theory suggests that they are talismans related to health and childbirth, and after use, they are intentionally destroyed and disposed of. They are now collected at the Minneapolis Institute of the Arts.
