La Venus de Moravany es una estatua datada aproximadamente en el año 22.800 a.C., perteneciente al arte prehistórico, en concreto al período Gravetiense, en el Paleolítico Superior. Venus de Moravany Se encuentra dentro del grupo de las Venus Paleolíticas y pertenece al arte mobiliario prehistórico. Fue hallada alrededor de los años 1.925 a 1.930 por el agricultor Stefan Hulman-Petrech, mientas araba la tierra cerca del municipio de Moravany nad Váhom. Situado en el distrito de Piest'any en la región de Trnava (Eslovaquia). Este lugar es conocido como un asentamiento y yacimiento prehistórico del período Paleolítico Superior. Entre los años 1.937 a 1.940 la estatua fue adquirida por el arqueólogo alemán Lothar Zotz, quién investigó el asentamiento durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Después de su muerte, en el año 1.967 fue su asistente Gisela Freund quién llevó la estatua al Instituto de Arqueología de Nitra, cumpliendo el deseo de Lothar Zotz de devolverla a Eslovaquia. En el año 1.967 se realizó un estudio científico llevado a cabo por el biólogo y paleontólogo checoslovaco Florian Heller, que determinó la autenticidad de la obra, puesto que el marfil dónde fue esculpida había sido cortado antes de su fosilización. Descripción Tiene una altura de 7,6 cm. Está fabricada en marfil (colmillo de mamut), mediante las técnicas de esculpido y tallado. Venus de Moravany Se trata de una talla pequeña de bulto redondo que representa la figura de una mujer desnuda, en posición de pie, con los atributos femeninos exagerados. Destacan los pechos que se encuentran representados de forma voluminosa y redondeada. Las caderas son anchas y los glúteos abultados. Además tiene los pliegues que rodean a los riñones representados como un tejido adiposo. Cabe enfatizar que el abdomen al ser contemplado de perfil se puede apreciar muy prominente, pero si la figura es contemplada de frente, el abdomen se aprecia estrecho. Venus de Moravany En el abdomen se aprecia un hueco muy marcado que representa el ombligo, también se aprecian que tanto el pubis como la vulva se encuentran muy marcadas mediante incisiones. Cabe resaltar que el estado de conservación no es bueno, le falta la cabeza, la parte inferior de las piernas y los brazos. Para finalizar destacar que los investigadores piensan que debido a su pequeño tamaño su funcionalidad podría haber sido la de un amuleto o una deidad transportable. Actualmente una copia se encuentra expuesta en el Museo Nacional Eslovaco en el Castillo de Bratislava, Eslovaquia. La venus de Moravany original se encuentra en el Museo de Ponitranské en Nitra (Eslovaquia).

For more of my trips, visit: www.theworldwalkers.com/tww/trips/user/54.jsf Trogir (Italian Traù, Latin Tragurium, Greek Tragurion, Hungarian Tengérfehérvár) is a historic town and harbour on the Adriatic coast in Split-Dalmatia county, Croatia, with a population of 10,907 (2001) and a total municipality population of 13,322 (2001). Trogir is situated 27 km west of Split, geographically located at 43°31′N 16°16′E. The city's historic core is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. In the 3rd century BC, Tragurion was founded by Greek colonists from the island of Vis, and it developed into a major port until the Roman period. The sudden prosperity of Salona deprived Trogir of its importance. During the migration of Slavs the citizens of the destroyed Salona escaped to Trogir. From the 9th century on, Trogir paid tribute to Croatian rulers. The diocese of Trogir was established in the 11th century (abolished in 1828) and in 1107 it was chartered by the Hungarian-Croatian king Coloman, gaining thus its autonomy as a town. In 1123 it was conquered and almost completely demolished by the Saracens. However, Trogir recovered in a short period to experience powerful economic prosperity in the 12th and the 13th centuries. In 1242 King Béla IV found refuge there as he fled the Tatars. In the 13th and the 14th centuries, members of the Šubić family were most frequently elected dukes by the citizens of Trogir; Mladen III (1348), according to the inscription on the sepulchral slab in the Cathedral of Trogir called "the shield of the Croats", was one of the most prominent Šubićs. In 1420 the period of a long-term Venetian rule began. On the fall of Venice in 1797, Trogir became a part of the Habsburg Empire which ruled over the city until 1918, with the exception of French occupation from 1806 to 1814. After World War I, Trogir, together with Croatia, became a part of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and subsequently the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. During World War II, Trogir was occupied by Italy and subsequently liberated in 1944. Since then it belonged to the second Yugoslavia, and from 1991 to Croatia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trogir
