Women breasts are also small in old statues.

Maybe we can infer that sculptors didn't want erogenous zones to become too relevant and overshadow the statue as a whole.

Part of the reason for this is that many of the models for Renaissance artists' sculptures of women were actually men.

They are certainly not small in Indian sculptures.

Many of them also look nothing like breasts.
