Venus of Willendorf (24,000 - 22,000 BC) This figurine was found in the Austrian village of Willendorf in 1908 and dates back to the Paleolithic period of prehistoric times. The voluptuous female figurine is cut from oolith (limestone), a type of stone which originally was not found in this area. The true meaning of the Venus figurines is unknown.
