Created by the Nuragic Civilization in Sardinia, Italy, this exquisite piece is housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Cagliari. The Nuragic culture, known for its iconic nuraghi structures, crafted this steatopigic representation of Venus with meticulous detail. The lower back form emphasizes feminine beauty and fertility, making it a symbol of power and abundance during that era. As we gaze upon this ancient carving, we are transported back in time to an era when art served as a window into human history. The craftsmanship displayed here speaks volumes about the skill and creativity of our ancestors.
