The Venus of Brassempouy is one of the great treasures of Palaeolithic art. The debate about whether she has been carved to represent a hairstyle or a head covering is ongoing. Here I explore the possibility of it being a cord based hair net, using stinging nettle fibre. The Venus de Brassempouy, also called la Dame à la Capuche (lady with the Hood), is part of the collection of the Musée des Antiquités Nationales (National Archaeological Museum) in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France. I now have a 'buy me a coffee' page which helps fund my ongoing research and the making of these free videos. If you'd like to support me, please visit https://ko-fi.com/sallypointer Thank you!
