V., paleolithic, two-faced, too...

"These two-faced 'venus' in Mexico are interpreted
like 'symbol of a double fruit or the principle of the
duality, that represents one of the roots of the
mesoamericanan religious philosophy, which comes
attributed propiziatory character.' To me,
'propiziatory character'  had it also the 'venus' with
a single head, otherwise is not understood why they
made them! If not, it is thinkable that those
two-faced ones have had a  'greater propiziatory
character.' [...] The characteristics of the two "
venus " and of the mask have many characteristics in
common with the wood sculpture of equatorial Africa.
Sure, who worked the wood, did not work the stone, but
the man always has been able to make all, in every
direction. Independently from the doubts on the origin
of the two two-faced sculptures (Fig.3 and Fig.4) , we
must observ that they join two different cults (true
or presumed): 1°) the feminine nude generally is
considered connected to the cult of the fecundity, and
2°) the bifrontism, generally, is characterization of
a God. "

"The shape of the heads reproduces the shape of the
hair, enriched by ornamental patterns , traced with
little lines as 'V' present also in the dorsal side. "
