THE VENUS WITH FUR BODYSUIT
It may not have head - although it did - but where we lack information due to missing portrait, we have a lot of storytelling in her clothing.
This 9.5 centimeters tall figurine tells us a lot about how they may have dressed in colder months of the year. The cloth, evidently fur, goes behind up the back, possibly being tied around the neck or shoulders. It is very strongly cut above the bellybutton, and breasts are left out.
The reason is not apparent, and it is also hard to tell whether her head fell of during use, or during her final way towards the fire pit.
It is one of the oldest figurines in the fire pit, made about 10 800 B.C.
The figurine was displayed in the soil from the site.
