OTSU--A clay figure believed to be 13,000 years old and one of the oldest in the country, was found in an archaeological site in Higashiomi, Shiga Prefecture, the Shiga Prefectural Association for Cultural Heritage said.
The tiny figure, 3.1 centimeters in height and 14.6 grams in weight, depicts a female torso with breasts and a waistline.
The figure, which was discovered at the Aidanikumahara archaeological site, is from an incipient era of the Jomon Pottery Culture, according to the association.
Another female clay figure from approximately the same era was found in Matsusaka, Mie Prefecture, in 1996.

Helen Thomas when she was young? Still had no head.
So man’s obsession with Tatas goes back that far. They probably liked beer too.
I’m not convinced. It could be anything.
Hugh Hefner’s mansion’s door knockers?
Nice Rack
Looks like a novelty type of thing to smoke pot out of. I think we used to call it a carburetor
Used to? whatever, you still do.
I don’t smoke dope it cuts into my heroin money
duh, even dogs and monkeys like beer.
Anyone else thinking might just be a prop left over from 13th Warrior?
As does every other organism.
If its Japanese, it probably meant for porn.
13,000 year old boobie thingees....mmmmmmmm
Not Guilty!
...I’m impressed you were able to find this article
Interesting. This figure is better, shall we say, endowed, than most modern Japanese women.
Wank target in my opinion. It seems that males had a large die off rate in ancient societies due to warfare, ritual or otherwise, this was to prove that the survivor was worthy. If you remember the early Sixties most fights started because women were proving their men.
I’m a leg man, myself.
