THE STRETCHMARK VENUS
This figurine revealed the increasing inventiveness to the archeologists as they were digging back in time; so simple, yet rich.

A very small figurine was one of the four of smallest figurines found in the cave.
It is only 5.4 centimeters tall, but lighter than the Round Venus. It has a lovely patina, which stands out on the tiny figurine. It is one of two figurines that was made of stone.
It was made about 14 700 years B.C. and it has no head or arms - it was possibly to small to carve those, but reveals stretchmarks around breasts and hair or more stretchmarks below stomach.
