Laussel

Japanese: ローセル(英語表記)Laussel
Laussel
A Paleolithic site in the Dordogne department in southwestern France. Excavated in 1894 by E. Rivière of France, and from 1908 to 1914 by J. G. Lalanne of France, four female reliefs (so-called "Venus figures") and one male relief were unearthed. All of the female reliefs, including the famous "Venus with a horn cup" (40 cm high), are nude, with breasts, abdomen, and buttocks strongly emphasized. Lalanne said that the figure, with its two heads facing in opposite directions, represents sexual intercourse or childbirth, while S. Giedion said that it is a hermaphrodite.
