'Kolobrzeg's Venus' - a 6,000-year-old figurine discovered in Pomerania excites scientists

Discovered by a farmer in Pomerania in 2022, the so-called "Kolobrzeg Venus" has now been confirmed as a six-thousand-year-old artefact, which, according to archaeologists, is unique in the history of Polish specimens. Following an extensive dating process, the figurine will be presented in a new part of the permanent exhibition of the Museum of Polish Arms.

This "unusual stone figurine" - as the experts examining it describe it in a press release - was discovered in the village of Obroty, near the Parsęta River. It came into the hands of Waldemar Sadowski, a member of the Parsęta Exploration Group operating at the Society of Friends of the Museum of Polish Arms in Kołobrzeg. Then, in 2023, archaeologist Marcin Krzepkowski of the Relicta Foundation, together with a team of experts, confirmed the uniqueness of the artefact.
