Venus Figurines
There are plenty of so-called Venus figurines. My Suebian ancestoress seems to be the oldest (and ugliest) of the bunch
Just for the hell of it, here is a gallery of stone-age beauties. The ceramic one mentioned in the text is here.
Here is a little table of what's around (partially adopted from Wikipedia). There are several more Venus figurines around, however, and many are probably patiently waiting for that good-looking archeologist to dig them out.
