Venus of Willendorf



The Venus of Willendorf is one of the oldest examples of art. It is from the Paleolithic age and is located in Austria. There are many different meanings associated with the statue but among the most popular are that it is a symbol of fertility. This is one possible conclusion because of the statues enhanced body parts. Another common meaning is that it was associated with good luck for hunters. A reason why this is a valid conclusion because of the small size, it would have been possible for hunters to carry around.
