ZUR ANTHROPOMORPHEN VENUS-STATUETTE DER VINČA-KULTUR VON LIMBA-OARDA DE JOS (KREIS ALBA).

This article focuses on the "Venus of Limba," an anthropomorphic Venus statuette (figurine depicting a woman) that has been attributed to the Vinča people (European culture from the Neolithic Era), and was unearthed at the Lima archaeological site in Oarda de Jos, Romania in 1997. Several topics are discussed, including how there are artistic elements that are characteristic of the Starčevo culture (ancient culture of Southeastern Europe) that were incorporated into the statue, how the creator of the statue emphasized certain parts of the female anatomy (such as the hips, the thighs, and the breasts) and left out other features (such as the eyes, the mouth, and the neck), and how this was the largest anthropomorphic statue found at that site.
