The Venus of Willendorf, now known in academia as the Woman of Willendorf, is a 11.1-centimetre high statuette of a female figure estimated to have been made between about 28,000 and 25,000 BCE.

It was found in 1908 by a workman named Johann Veran[2] or Josef Veram[3] during excavations conducted by archaeologists Josef Szombathy, Hugo Obermaier and Josef Bayer at a paleolithic site near Willendorf, a village in Lower Austria near the town of Krems.

It is carved from an oolitic limestone that is not local to the area, and tinted with red ochre. The figurine is now in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria
