Woman of Willendorf Enamel Pin

£9.00

Artist’s impression of the famed “Venus of Willendorf” artifact. 

The Woman* of Willendorf is the oldest three-dimensional representation of a human being.   A window into our paleolithic past!  Nobody really knows if she is a lucky talisman, an object of worship, purely decorative or what... my favourite theory is that she is self-portraiture, carved by a woman looking down on her own body, hence the lack of face and feet.   Whoever she is and whatever her purpose this woman's image survived from around 30,000 bc and I often think of her when I am drawing women's bodies.  

* more famously known as Venus of Willendorf  - although it's becoming recognised that using this term projects a whole bunch of 19 C western assumptions about the female figure and its' purpose in art of onto a culture we know very little about.  Ie - they assumed it was to titillate. Modern scholarship rejects this.

Yes to the Mother Goddess!

This is a beautiful pin, with high quality metal and deep colour on the enamel. It would be great to have the option of buying grippy backs rather than rubber ones as I have lost pins with the rubber ones before.
Thank you for including the Woman of Willendorf in your collection ❤️
