Venus of Galgenberg

The Venus of Galgenberg is a Venus figurine of the Aurignacian era, dated about 36,000 years ago.

The sculpture, also known in German as the Fanny von Galgenberg, was discovered in 1988 close to Stratzing, Austria, not far from the site of the Venus of Willendorf. The two statuettes are normally displayed in the same cabinet at the Museum of Natural History in Vienna, to emphasise the special nature of these two "old ladies", as the curator affectionately calls them.

The figurine measures 7.2 centimetres (2.8 in) in height and weighs 10 grams (0.35 oz). It is sculpted from shiny green serpentine rock which is found in the immediate vicinity of where the figurine was unearthed.

Because the figurine exhibits a "dancing pose" it was given the nickname "Fanny" after Fanny Elssler, an Austrian ballerina of the 19th century.
