Venus of Hohle Fels


This fine detailed, Museum quality, little statuette measures about 5.7cm (2 ¹/₄ inches).

Each one of these little ladies is individually hand painted with great care, so no two are alike, there can be slight color variations and might be slightly different to the pictured item.


The original Hohle Fels Venus is a small (a bit shorter than 6cm) figurine of a woman with somewhat exaggerated features, carved from mammoth ivory at least 35000 years ago. Discovered in six fragments in September 2008 at the base of thick and well stratified Aurignacian deposits at Hohle Fels Cave in Southwestern Germany, the Venus may be the oldest known example of figurative art, 5000 years older than the next oldest examples, the well known 'Venuses' of the Gravettian culture.



Material: Ceramic plaster
Note: the statuette has no stand
