It is suggested that the figurine is a Venus fertility Goddess because of its prominent reproductive structures and red coloring. But, it also might of been a lucky charm because of seven rings on the head. The figurine could be carried by hunters to bring luck and remind them of their lover back at home. This art piece gives information about the religious and social beliefs of the society that lived in the era it was made making it significant to history.
