The Venus of Willendorf, also known as the Nude Woman, is considered an artifact of Paleolithic art originating from Willendorf, Austria. It is only a little over four inches in size, making it portable for the nomads. The Venus of Willendorf has a large stomach, thighs, buttocks, and short bent knees. There is controversy over whether or not it is symbolic for women being seen as objects rather than people with a display of a faceless face or if it was named in relation to the Roman goddess Venus which represents beauty.
