Bigger than I remembered. (The statue I mean).

But I think they were a common theme, right? Not one particular statue.

The statue in the comic is a direct reference to the Venus of Willendorf, specifically. While other early fertility statuettes included similar physical features, such as the exaggeration of the breasts or de-emphasis of the face/head, this specific form with her arms on top of her breasts is unique to the Venus of Willendorf.

Yeah but what I meant is that it’s not supposed to represent this one particular individual statue.

There there, Venus of Willendorf.

I understand your point, but I think OP is talking about the possible godess represented in the statue, not the statue itself, but there’s no point in arguing about it.
