the original figurine that you probably know from the history of arts books comes from paleolithic time. it was found in 1908 by a worker in austria, nearby willendorf. it turned out that it’s one of the oldest depictions of woman – it might had been made 22-24 thousands years ago!  many researchers see the fatty lady as a symbol of fertility.
