Eight views of the tiny woman standing in the Eagle Pose yoga position, carved from mammoth tusk.

I was thinking the same thing. Modern art of the time?

All my ancestors came from this exact area. Might be my Great Granny 10x?

“I wonder how anyone determined that that is a woman”

I agree. Some bookwork of an antropologist just failed another ink block test. and there are two of them that just do not look anything like a woman. Therefore they must be twin sisters.

Stunningly beautiful piece!

It always about sex as even today it’s an enigma when trying to explain it.

Phallic along with woman’s reproduction and nurturing capabilities besides umbilical marks never cease to amaze.

It’s not a big leap in art work or psychology.

Aren’t the Predmosti brothers those guys in Pittsburgh that make the famous sandwiches?

[SunkenCiv]

That’s gouda guess as any.

an engraving of a woman on a mammoth tusk

Are they sure it was a mammoth tusk she was on, and not a crescent moon?

Or did they mean "an engraving on a mamooth tusk of a woman...,"?

Without photos to clarify their sloppy English usage, it is hard to tell what they mean.

[colorado tanker]

So easy a caveman could do her . . . .

[ApplegateRanch]

Are they sure she's a Venus, and not just a "chick in chainmail" warrior-babe?

And Lo!
He arose and brought forth a plague of coffee upon the people who wept bitterly.
For the coffee caused manifestattions of undead and all manner of bizarre happenstance.
And all was laid waste under the cloven hooves of the zombie deer.

[TheOldLady]

Heed the words of the Darksheare.

[null and void]

Indeed. I am quite familiar with Darksheare coffee...

...and its side effects.

[TheOldLady]

Yes. We’re still dealing with the zombie deer. We actually protect them during hunting season. Can you imagine what would happen over at the butcher’s if a hunter brought one in?

[null and void]

That would be BAD.

[TheOldLady]

So glad that you understand.   ;-D

[SunkenCiv]

LOL

[Darksheare]

I did try to get the local deer in my area to drink the stuff.
Apparently only the squirrels were brave enough.
[Local deer are on to me.]

Said squirrel will now lay flat under the bird feeder and ooze around.

Oddly, the marks in the snow resemble the “Venus” carving.
Truly weird.

[TheOldLady]

Synchronicity.
