Palaeolithic Venus

This piece is inspired by the Palaeolithic Venus figurines found in recent years.

Venus figurines are usually in fired clay, ivory or soft stone, never in bronze. Indeed, they predate the discovery of metal.

The Venus offered here is therefore an object inspired by them, not a reconstruction piece.

It is 15 cm tall and weighs around one kilo. It is therefore a massive object.

The Venus figurines are offered here in a raw state, polished to bring out the relief. But they can be fully polished.

Casting imperfections are deliberately kept so as not to betray the originally rudimentary context of the object.

They can be made in solid silver...
