Venus of Lausell
|
|
|
Dordogne, France.
20,000 B.C.
The original is 17
inches tall and was
found in the entrance
to a cave that was
both a dwelling place
and a ceremonial
site. She was painted
red, the color of
life, blood and
rebirth. Paleolithic
sculptors chiselled
her out of limestone
with tools of flint,
and gave her to hold
in her right hand a
bison's horn,
crescent-shaped like
the moon,which is
notched with thirteen
marks representing
the thirteen days of
the waxing moon and
the thirteen months
of the lunar year.
With her left hand
she points to her
swelling womb. Her
head is tilted
towards the crescent
moon, drawing a curve
of relationship from
her fingers on the
womb up through the
incline of her head
to the crescent horn
in her hand, so
creating a connection
between the waxing
phase of the moon and
the fecundity of the
human womb.
