Venus of Willendorf. The Venus of Willendorf, now known in academia as the Woman of Willendorf, is a 11.1-centimetre (4.4 in) high statuette of a female figure estimated to have been made between about 28,000 and 25,000 BCE. [1]
It is also called the Woman of Willendorf, and is only 11cm tall. I find the fact that something so small as this to be of great archaeological importance fascinating. It is estimated that it was made between 24,000 and 22,000 BCE, but wasnât found until 1908 by a man named Johann Veran.He found it in during an excavation at a Paleolithic site near Willendorf, a city in lower Austria. The Venus of Willendorf is carved out of oolithic limestone and is tinted with red ochre.This limestone is not a local stone to the area, leaving room for interpretation as to where the stone came from and how it go to they city of Willendorf. There were many other Venus figures found later to match in a set together.he Venus of Willendorf is carved out of oolithic limestone and is tinted with red ochre.
