Over 100 so-called “Venuses”, dating from 35,00 to 10,00 years ago, have been found all through Eurasia, from Spain to Siberia. They were carved in all the materials used at the time: stone, bone, clay, ivory and wood. They range from 4 – 25 cm (1.5 – 10′) in height. Like She of Willendorf, they generally portray an obese female form, such as would have been unusual in those lean times, with more emphasis placed on the torso (breasts, belly, bum and genitals) and thighs, and less on the head and limbs.
