The "Venous of Willedendorf" is the name that was given to a female figurine that was found in 1908 by an archeologist named Joseph Szombathy. The figurine is also called Woman of Willendorf or Nude women.The figurine is a well crafted sculpture of a naked obese woman from the stone age. The stone used are made of oolitic limestone. The feet are rendered as very small , with no indications of ankles. It was suggested that the woman is a fertility figure, a good luck totem, a mother goddess symbol, or an aphrodisiac made by men for the appreciation of men.
