Well, you make some good points...and the interwebz does seem to support the proto-porn thesis.

On a serious note, the web has provided higher quality photographs of the Willmendorf Woman, nee Venus. The newer photos provide greater detail over the blurry black and white images in the Art History texts I last saw some 40 years ago.

The level of detail is pretty amazing. The headwear appears to strongly suggest a knit or woven cap. At odds with that detailing is the absence of any facial features. More questions.

SC, thanks for the post and the impetus to revisit old impressions and seek newer information.

Hey, who needs facial features? Whoops, I mean, yeah, looks more like a hat than a hairstyle, but could be either.
