Willendorf

Venus of Willendorf is also referred to as Woman of Willendorf or Nude Woman. She is a female figurine found in 1908 at Willendorf, Austria. It was not made in willendorf. The head is missing a face and other  features and only consists of a braid-like pattern. The hands and feet are missing as well. It is thought that she is a fertility figure, known for good luck, and as a mother goddess. I think this is a cool sculpture bc It is missing the main things people have but yet you can still elk it’s a women.
