the dark /fair men/woman representation was a typical pictorial convention of antiquity
this was inherited from the Greek art..
(that went back as the frescos in Crete etc),
This contrast could also be interpreted on the fact that women spent most of their day in indoor activities away from the sun.

Yes, playtypus, you are right!. That contrast is also noticeable on Ancient Egyptians' depictions. @dienekes: Images problem fixed. |

Of course there was a dark/fair dynamic--like in all European countries. Men work outside, women don't. It's not hard to imagine why men in maritime cultures (working outside under the brutal Mediterranean sun) would be significantly more tanned than women.
Even in more northern countries--take France, for example--the men were always darker than the women. That's why, in the 18th Century, they started to use powder to "whiten up". It wasn't an obsessional desire to look Nordic. Rather, whiteness reflected social class--for the rich didn't work out in the fields, hence they didn't get dark.
[Why the powder? --Because under normal conditions even the French (whose country derived from the Germanic tribe, the Franks)--got darker than their women.]
P.S.--Now that gender roles have broken down in the West, it's interesting to see just how dark women can get. Look at female professional tennis players. The skin of those women looks like beef-jerky.

The main reason for these Sex and Phallus/Dildo ornaments if for procreation & fertility purposes..which is very important in ancient times..unlike today with modern prudent and backwards morality and gender concepts(where woman are becoming like men,and men are becoming like woman,its insane) and Religion among other things are taking a toll of human development and numbers.
