One thing that stand out about this statue is its shape. The shape of the statue is a womans body. I find the statue beautiful because it shows that all body sizes are appreciated. This statue shows what body types may have been present during paleolithic times. The statue also could have depicted the hairstyles of women in the paleolithic times. the person who created the statue probably saw this as a work of art. It may have been designed after a loved one, or a person they admired. It was probably hand sculpted with lots of effort put into it. This statue probably would have been seen as a great work of art, it could have been auctioned off to wealthy merchants who wanted to sell it around the world.
