'Venus van Hohle Fels' 

Prehistorisch archeologen van de universiteit in Tübingen hebben het beeldje in september 2008 gevonden in de Schwäbische Alb, in Zuid-Duitsland. Ze hebben het 'Venus van Hohle Fels' gedoopt. Hohle Fels is de naam van de grot, Venus verwijst naar de Romeinse godin van de liefde.

Now is the topical event the "Venus" of Schwaben (of the Jura period), made of ivory. 

This Low Paleolithic combination of a (dancing) shaman/mammoth/elephant seems to give a clue. His legs are also the tusks of the mammoth (ivory). The mammoth seems to move his foreleg in a slowly walk. At the same time the shaman is "dancing", maybe for the big migration and return of the mammoths/elephants. Undoubtedly the calves are playing an important role in this (fertility-item; the shaman's holding an egg in his right hand). The space between the legs is also a surface to work on, maybe to shape very small tools (of ivory), like f.i. needles etc.
