THE PETITE VENUS
An oddly elongated, bright figurine surprised archeologists with strong sound it produces when shaken.
Her soft patina and shape were not the only surprising factor, but also her complex hairstyle.
This site was overall a fashion show - displaying intricate clothing and interesting hairdos.
Her size was also surprising, as it is clearly filled with large balls that were making an impactful sound.
It was made about 12 000 B.C and it is 10.5 centimeters tall.
It is one of four figurines that was displayed in soil from the site.
