The "Red Haired Goddess" is a Neolithic Venus figurine from the Starčevo culture, which flourished in the Balkans, between 6300 and 5500 BC. The female figurine has enormously pronounced hips, thighs and especially buttocks. These features are typical in Neolithic female figurines, which were produced from Europe to Anatolia, Iran, and the Indus Valley between about 6000 BC and 3000 BC. But why were they made?
