Venus of Brassempouy

The Venus of Brassempouy (French: ''la Dame de Brassempouy'', meaning "Lady of Brassempouy", or ''Dame à la Capuche'', "Lady with the Hood") is a fragmentary ivory figurine from the Upper Palaeolithic. It was discovered in a cave at Brassempouy, France in 1892. About 25,000 years old, it is one of the earliest known realistic representations of a human face.
==Discovery==
Brassempouy is a small village in the ''département'' of Landes in southwest France. Two caves near the village, 100 metres from each other, were among the first Paleolithic sites to be explored in France. They are known as the ''Galerie des Hyènes'' (Gallery of the Hyenas) and the ''Grotte du Pape'' (the "Pope's Cave"). The Venus of Brassempouy was discovered in the Pope's Cave in 1894,〔For discussion of the nineteenth-century term ''Venus'' still applied to paleolithic female figures, see Venus figurines.〕 accompanied by at least eight other human figures. These may be an example of unfinished work, as if artist(s) carved several figurines at the same time.
P.E. Dubalen first explored the ''Grotte du Pape'' in 1881, followed by J. de Laporterie and Édouard Piette (1827–1906) from 1894 onwards. Since archaeological excavation techniques were then only starting to develop, they paid little attention to the stratigraphy of the site containing the remains. In 1892 the site was pillaged and disturbed almost beyond reconstruction by a field trip of amateurs from the ''Association française pour l’avancement de la science''.〔Described in detail by White 2006:257ff.〕 Nevertheless, Piette described layers attributed to the late and middle Solutrean. He termed the bottom levels he reached as ''éburnéen'' (pale or white like ivory), in reference to the copious amounts of ivory works which they contained. Modern reanalysis of the site has been undertaken under the direction of Henri Delporte, 1981–2000.
In 1894, one of those strata, today recognized as Gravettian, yielded several fragments of statuettes, including the "Lady with the Hood". Piette saw the figures as closely related to the representations of animals of the Magdalenian. He developed a hypothetical chronology that was later refuted by Henri Breuil.
