A second Venus found in Orkney as archeologists create history

[Liffrea]

A PARTNER has been found for a rare 4,500-year-old Neolithic figurine discovered at an archaeological dig site on a remote Scottish island.

The second carved figure was unearthed just 100 feet from the spot in Westray, Orkney, where the artefact dubbed the Orkney Venus was found last year.

The new figurine is headless and made of fired clay rather than sandstone. But archaeologists say it bears a striking resemblance to the original.

Matching pair, not quite the same without the head though. ye'd need a good eye to find that.
