♡ Venus of Věstonice - replica of a famous statue of a woman, GRAVETTIEN, pendant

How long would a man have to look at the body of the woman he loves to be able to capture so many perfect details! The figure of this symbol of fertility and motherhood seems to walk among us today!

This is exactly how we imagine a strong woman from the Stone Age, when mammoths, reindeer and even woolly rhinos roamed around the caves in our territory!

This Gravettian idol of mammoth hunters (more often rabbits, but mammoths sound tougher) is estimated to be between 25 and 29,000 years old.

This plump beauty has been etched in the minds of all history buffs as one of the nation's most famous monuments perhaps since the first day it was found, in dust and ashes, by Mr Seidl of archaeologist Karel Absolon's team in Dolní Věstonice. It's a must-have!

The original is less than 12 inches long and made of a mixture of clay and limestone and appears to be one of the earliest evidences of prehistoric pottery.

Ours is scaled down, with essential details highlighted, and cast in bronze. You won't find little-known details that wouldn't be visible on such a small pendant - a child's fingerprint on the butt or holes in the head into which it was possible to insert... what do we know, feathers? Hair? But it abounds with hints of phallics on the belly and back, doesn't forget one larger breast, as on the original, and surprises with a hidden eyelet for hanging so that you can enjoy a pleasant feeling with the symbolism of inner feminine strength and respect for the mother, the goddess!
