    The Venus of Dolní Věstonice is a ceramic Venus figurine. Its age is estimated at 25,000 to 29,000 years, making it the Gravettian period. It is thus the oldest known ceramic figurine in the world. Its discovery refuted the previous assumption that ceramics were unknown in the Paleolithic period.

    The figurine is one of the oldest ceramic products and is made of loess clay, tempered with animal bone meal to prevent shrinkage cracks. It measures 11.1 cm high, 4.3 cm wide, and 2.7 cm thick.
