the palm of a hand. It is one of the most obese representations of the
Paleolithic statuary.
>She
represents the Earth and its fertility and continuation of life,the
Mother Goddess is the universal female principle even if it is in its most
primitive conception. Women were recognized as the life-givers and sustainers.
They were revered as priestesses. Upper Paleolithic female figures, such as
this one are found from the Pyrenees mountains to Siberia, indicating that
East and West were once united in honoring the Goddess. The vast majority
(over 90%) of human images from 30,000 to 5,000 b.c. are female.
