Venus of Willendorf

The Venus of Willendorf is a famous artifact which was discovered in a small Austrian village. While it may look like a large piece, it is actually just under 4.5 inches. There is no definitive proof, however, it is believed that this tiny sculpture was created during 24,000 B.C.E.. The most detailed things of this figurines body are the breasts and genitalia. Due to this, many believe this piece is based around child bearing and reproduction.
