Venus of Lespugue Prehistoric Mother Goddess Fertility Statue Figurine VEN02

Description

Venus of Lespugue Prehistoric Mother Goddess Fertility Statue (R-O)
Venus of Lespugue (ca 20,000-18,000 BC)
The replica statue is based on an abstract female figurine from the high-Paleolithic period. It was found in the cave of Rideaux near
Lespugue
in the Haute-Garonne at the bottom of the Pyrenees in 1922. It was heavily damaged and later restored to a large extent.
Venus figurines
is a collective term for prehistoric female figurines ever since the Marquis de Vibraye named a prehistoric nude female figurine
Venus Impudigue
(an indecent Venus), which is a pun on the
Roman Venus Pudica
.
The true meaning of the
Venus figurines
is unknown. It is likely that in the hunter and collector society of those days, their corpulence stood for prosperity and fertility. In the range of Venus figurines which have survived, the
Venus of Willendorf
has the most exaggerated corpulence with other like this one, the
Venus of Lespugue
, also showing her special endowments. The female sexual characteristics are presented very explicitly and enlarged on the contrary to the face, arms and legs which, apparently, were less important.
Venus of Lespugue Statue
is made from resin with an antique finish and removable black metal stand. Comes with a color description card in four languages.
Measures: 6.5 in H x 2.5 in W x 2 in D including stand. Weight 0.6 lbs.
It is part of the
Parastone Museum Collection
(Mouseion 3D) from Europe which pays tribute to important artworks from many cultures and time periods.
