Venus of Willendorf

This is the Venus of Willendorf. It was found in 1908 outside the village of Willendorf. There are two hypothesis about the artwork of this sculpture. Some believe that a man made this sculpture. They think that this sculpture can be seen as a sex object, since is it a naked woman with large breasts. Others believe that a woman made this sculpture. They think the sculpture shows an obese woman. That this is how the artist sees herself. A faceless, obese woman. I find it a little odd that the woman has no arms or feet. But this is still a very nice looking sculpture.
