Found in Austria in the early 20th century, the statue dates back to around 20,000 B.C.E.. Venus statues of this type are generally thought to originate in matriarchical societies and represent fertility and abundance. This depiction of Venus is approximately 12mm x 10mm x 14.5mm with a threaded core for compatibility with PERLAVITA jewelry as well as most major brands of large hole beads. |
