Miniature Figurine – Inspired by the Woman of Willendorf

Details

This little pocket-sized Palaeolithic beauty is designed to go wherever you go. Inspired by the famous Woman of Willendorf, she’s often seen as a symbol of Earth Mother energy and feminine power. We've made her smaller, so she can fit easily into a pocket, handbag, or altar space—a constant companion and a reminder of ancient strength and connection.

Small female figurines like this have been found across prehistoric Europe, where they played a meaningful role in human culture for tens of thousands of years. The earliest known fired clay objects are from sites such as Dolní Věstonice in the Czech Republic—including the powerful figure of the Woman of Dolní Věstonice, also available to view in our online shop.

Materials
Smoke-fired terracotta

Dimensions
Height: Approx. 50 mm

Variations

When choosing a colour variation, please note that due to the nature of the smoke-firing process, the tones and mottling will vary from piece to piece. Each Venus is unique, with her own individual character and markings—just as it should be.

Production

Each goddess has been handmade in a small pottery workshop in Northumberland, using traditional techniques to create an object that feels ancient, tactile, and full of presence.
