In 2016, a marble female figurine dating back approximately 8,000 years was discovered in the Neolithic settlement of Çatalhöyük in Anatolia (Turkey).

The figurine of a very full-figured mature woman is 17 cm high, 11 cm wide, and weighs approximately one kilogram. It was buried directly on a low platform, where it stood with a piece of obsidian nearby.

Unlike most Paleolithic Venuses, this statuette has a head and a well-defined face
