MIDNIGHT GODDESS - the Venus of Willendorf figurine, hand carved in Black Jade. This is a gorgeous piece to hold, rounded and weighty.
The original Venus of Willendorf was discovered in Austria and is believed to have been carved around 30,000 BCE. Although there is no definitive understanding of the meaning of the original figurine, the exaggeration of the parts of her body associated with fertility and child-bearing suggest that she may have been associated with fertility rituals.
We have carved this from Australian Black Jade - a deep black colour with some pale striations in some of the pieces. These, where they occur, are natural structures that form with the stone where minerals are wrapped into the jade during its formation.
This piece has rounded, soft curves in the front face and a beautifully rounded, carved back - a lovely, sensual pendant.
Take a moment to view the video, you can clearly see the pendant's form.
MIDNIGHT GODDESS is provided with an adjustable black cord and is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
