http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Willendorf

This is a very in-depth article about the Venus of Willendorf.

http://arthistoryresources.net/willendor...overy.html

What it reveals is that interpretations often depend on cultural attitudes. The truth is that nobody today actually knows what the figure was supposed to represent.

Many modern pagans interpret the figure as being a Mother Goddess symbol although we can't be certain that people in Neolithic times regarded the Venus figures as Goddess symbols.
