The pose was copied from Dresden Venus. Where it's much more obvious that she's touching herself. Likely whoever commissioned it requested her to be like that.

Art History courses I've taken seem to gloss over the fact that most famous artwork is commissioned. The patrons of 1000 years ago are the same as the patrons of today. They're down bad and want titties & ass.

Maybe in 1000 years ahegao catgirls will "represent fertility"
