Female / goddess statuette discovered in the Neolithic settlement La Marmotta in Anguillara Sabazia, Italy, which was occupied from around 5600 BC. The site is currently submerged by the waters of Lake Bracciano. The statuette was carved in a small block of green steatite and it appears to be much older.

I sometimes go back to the Dan Olson video about Doug Walker and there’s a bit where he says “Doug wants to be a filmmaker, he wants to make art, but he can't, because he's a fundamentally incurious person who isn't much interested in what other people think or feel and all his ideas boil down to ‘what if Batman met Mario?’” and I know that if this was said about most artists I have met they would wither up on the spot like a dying spider
