EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Venerable Venus: A Comparative Study of Prehistoric Figurines from Europe" This photograph showcases a collection of ancient Venus figures, each meticulously crafted between 22,000 to 30,000 years ago. From left to right, we find: a) The Venus of Moravia, an exquisite fired clay figurine hailing from the Czech Republic. This small, female figure, with her rounded belly and exaggerated breasts, represents one of the earliest known depictions of the goddess Venus or a fertility deity. b) The Venus of Bruniquel, a mesmerizing ivory figurine discovered in France. Carved from mammoth tusk, this enigmatic figure is believed to represent the female form, with her voluptuous curves and delicate features. c) The Willendorf Venus, a globular limestone figurine unearthed in Austria. This diminutive, yet powerful, Venus figure is one of the most famous prehistoric artifacts, with her prominent breasts, rounded belly, and prominent labia. d) The Venus of Berehove, an ivory figurine sourced from Ukraine. This intricately carved mammoth ivory figure shares similarities with the other Venus figures, with her exaggerated female features and small size. These Venus figures, originating from various parts of Europe, serve as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of our prehistoric ancestors. They represent the earliest known depictions of the female form, providing valuable insights into the beliefs, values, and artistic sensibilities of early human societies. These figurines, as part of the rich heritage of European prehistory, continue to captivate scholars and enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the distant past.
