Venus of Willendorf
This female figurine is probably one of the best known prehistoric Goddess images. This limestone figure was created around 24,000 and 22,000 BCE, making it one of the oldest man-made images in existence. It was discovered near Willendorf, Austria in 1908 by Josef Szombathy. The most prominent qualities of this figure are her large breasts and stomach. There are no facial features except for markings on her head which may represent curled hair or a head covering. The original statue is currently kept at the Museum of Natural History in Vienna.
