Venus of Moravany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Venus[1] of Moravany is a small female figurine ploughed up sometime before 1930 by peasant Štefan Hulman–Petrech in the location Podkovica by the village of Moravany nad Váhom, Slovakia.
It is made of mammoth ivory and is dated to 22,800 BP, which places it in the upper Paleolithic. The copy of Venus currently resides in the Bratislava Castle exposition of the Slovak National Museum.[2]
