Cucuteni Venus, neolithic mother goddess pendant in silver

 

This silver pendant is a replica of an iconic figurine from the Neolithic-Chalcolithic Cucuteni-Trypillia culture. Representing a mother goddess or fertility Venus, this figurine comes from a civilization that flourished between Romania and Ukraine.

The original feminine figurine, made of fired clay, was found at the archaeological site of Drăguşeni in Romania and dates back to approximately 4050 to 3900 BC. Known as the "Venus of Drăguşeni," it is housed in the Botoşani County Museum in Moldova, Romania. The Cucuteni-Trypillia culture, which developed between the 6th and 3rd millennia BC (5800 - 2800 BC), is notable for its early proto-urban settlements. These urban centers, which could accommodate up to 20,000 inhabitants, were periodically abandoned and destroyed every 60-80 years, a surprising fact for the time.

Female figurines, often referred to as goddesses, are ubiquitous in the archaeological finds of the Cucuteni culture. Some researchers suggest that these fetish statues indicate that Cucuteni culture was matriarchal, led by women, pacifist, and egalitarian. According to some 20th-century theories, this society was overthrown by the patriarchal and warlike Indo-European cultures.

Regardless of these interpretations, it is clear that female figurines held particular importance in Cucuteni culture. In a Neolithic society where survival depended on agriculture and animal husbandry, the veneration of a mother goddess, symbolizing fertility and prosperity, was crucial.

Modern archaeological research suggests that not all these female figurines represented specific goddesses. It is possible that they served as fetishes or totems with varied uses rather than embodying a particular goddess. As talismans, they were likely endowed with powers meant to aid or protect their possessor.

These female figurines have become the symbol of the Cucuteni culture thanks to their distinctive style. They often feature incised lines and spirals and are frequently depicted reclining on chairs. Some researchers interpret these motifs as tattoos or scarifications, while others see them as elaborate clothing. The motifs might have been used to communicate ideas or assert the identity of groups or families, a unique characteristic compared to other Neolithic mother goddess figurines.

If you are passionate about history and ancient civilizations, this pendant is a perfect addition to your collection. It symbolizes the rich cultural heritage and deep beliefs of the Cucuteni civilization while being a beautiful piece of jewelry to wear.
