Scientists have discovered the oldest piece of sculpture ever created - and it depicts a voluptuous 'pin-up' woman.
The 35,000-year-old carving shows a woman with enormous breasts and other sexual characteristics like an enlarged stomach and large thighs.
The six-centimetre carved mammoth tusk, which is thought to have been a symbol of fertility for early man, is known as 'Venus' and was discovered in several fragments which were then pieced together.
Radiocarbon dating showed that the figurine, which was found in a German cave, is at least 35,000 years old, predating later similar finds by 5,000 years or more.
