If anyone believes that visual art has changed dramatically over the past seven thousand years, they should take a closer look at this 38 cm tall woman sculpture. It has just been excavated in Donja Branjevina, an archaeological place 150 km from Yugoslavia's head city Belgrade.
The place is the oldest known farming community in the history of European civilization. The similarity between the sensational discovery and more cubist figurative statuettes from the beginning of this century is quite striking.
The little lady with the large end may not have been above the earth's surface since the early Stone Age.
Under the photo of the sculpture it says:
Woman sculpture from the Early Stone Age have been found in Yugoslavia
