Venus of Willendorf was founded on August 7, 1908 by Johann Vernan at a site near Willendorf, a village in lower Austria. It is about 4 inches tall and is carved from oolitic limestone. You can find the statue in Naturhishistorisches in Vienna, Austria. It is believed to have been carved during the "Old Stone Age." In 2009, researchers estimated that the age of the archeological layer that the statue was found in was about 30,000 years ago, meaning that it would have been carved somewhere between 28,000 and 25,000 BCE.
