The original Venus of Willendorf was found by the researcher
Szombathy on August 7, 1908. It is made out of limestone and still has some
signs of red pigmentation; it fits in the palm of a hand. It is one of the
most obese representations of the Paleolithic statuary. This famous Venus
represents the Earth and its fertility and continuation of life, the Mother
Goddess, the universal female principle in one of its earliest conceptions.
