Venus of Willendorf is the earliest human figure art, that is in woman form . It was found in the 1908 by the archaeologist Josef Szombathy, he found this sculpture in a town of willendorf in Austria . That where its  name is named after  , this sculpture is carved out from a fine porous oolitic limestone not found in the region and it is 11cm in length, it represent animal and women because there is no certain fact that is evidence practical function. 

Judging from this sculpture we can see the exaggerated breasts , belly and backside , this we can probably guess is a fertility figure .the head of this sculpture have no facial and is cover with dotted line , it maybe show that is the hair style of its culture. And this sculpture have been study and put into textbook of history in art and has become an earliest art of representation "first woman" artwork .

As for my opinion , this sculpture is similar to the god of the buddha that chinese people pray to.The venus of Willerdorf sculpture head also have the dotted shape on top of it which is same as the statue for chinese buddha. (As you can see below )
