Venus von Bierden, Mesolithic sculpture in Landesmuseum Hannover, Germany.
The Venus von Bierden consists of engraved lines on a sandstone tool measuring 5 by 7 centimeters, depicting a female figure with specific anatomical features.
Archaeological teams discovered this artifact in 2011 during pipeline construction work near Bierden, approximately 1600 meters from the current Weser River course.
The figure represents the earliest known female representation in Northern Germany, offering insights into Mesolithic artistic practices and gender perspectives.
The stone tool exhibits three phases of use, indicating its function for processing other stone artifacts and smoothing soft materials during the 9th millennium BCE.
Carbon dating of charcoal remains at the excavation site places the artifact between 9200 and 8800 BCE, confirming its early Mesolithic origin.
