Colin Heaney, famous worldwide for his distinctive handblown art glass, has designed for yOni.com a range of exquisite glass power objects featuring one of the most ancient representations of feminine beauty, the Venus of Wilendorf. Dating back around 28,000 years, the Wilendorf Goddess (rediscovered near Wilendorf in Austria) is a small stone figurine with abundant breasts, abdomen and buttocks. Quite unlike the images of feminine beauty that we know today, this representation of woman from ancient times celebrates the fertility and lush abundance of feminine form.
Beautiful art pieces in their own right the goddesses can be used functionally as an exquisite paper weight or as a ritual object for your personal altar. The durability of glass means these goddesses will last as long as their Paleolithic predecessors. Each goddess has been individually hand made in Colin's studio and measures 9cm in length. Colin has now retired as a glass artist so these are the remaining few pieces available.
