Female statue in sandstone

This 5,000 years old female statue in sandstone is on display at the Pech Merle prehistory center. The figure seems rather short and fat, just the opposite of the image of the ideal modern woman.

Pech Merle is a cave which opens onto a hillside at Cabrerets in the Lot département of the Midi-Pyrénées region in France. The Prehistoric cave paintings were beautiful and touching.
