And the bow of her head is sort of reverential. She is like an Everywoman, Mother Nature and - I mean this is the nicest possible way - Walmart Woman.

Art Twomacs, what an excellent point. The fact that she's dated to over 20,000 years ago is so astounding and that mystery of her creation is a great imagination-sparker. (Makes me think it would be a great beginning to a brainstorming/free writing activities for students!)

To put her in perspective she has been dated to the last ice age, if not earlier. She is a mystery like others of the same era. I can't help wondering about the creator's life at such an early time. I imagine the creator, early human, working away to make the Venus in a fire lit Austrian cave. Its probably very cold outside. These thoughts make this special for me.

It always hits home with the audience. I teach an Art History survey and, due to her featureless face, I like to refer to her as Every Woman, ala Chaka Khan. It always hits home with the audience.
