Venus of Willendorf

The Venus of Willendorf piece was created between 25,000 – 20,000 B.C. This is a statue of a female and portrays the “abundance” of a women. This statue was discovered August 7^th, 1908 in Australia. The piece is made of limestone tinted with red ochre. It is believed that this figure was a totem or good luck charm to its owner. I find it fascinating that the figure has no face, hands or feet.
