Venus of Willendorf

Venus of Willendorf was discovered in 1908. However, its estimated origin goes all the way back to 30,000 BCE. The statue is not large, standing at just 4.4 inches tall but even at its small size can hold a lot of meaning behind it. There are only theories as too the meaning however, it is clear that the statue has something to do with women or fertility. Some people believe that the statue is supposed to be what a women sees when she looks down at herself since that is the only way a women could look at herself thirty thousand years ago.  The statue also lacks feet and the only way it can stand and support itself would be by placing in on a soft ground that it can sink into.
