In this paper, we present a female figurine made of clay, found in Farsala, Thessaly, Greece, and which is housed in the Athanassakeion Archaeological Museum of Volos, Greece. This Neolithic figurine has visible characteristics of female obesity and belongs to a class of figurines ironically named "Venuses". The figurine is described, and speculation underlying the reason for its construction and uses are presented. In addition, the historical and social background of the Prehistoric period is taken into consideration, in an attempt to evaluate the characteristics of ancient feminine obesity and compare it to its modern definitions.
在本文中，我们展示了一尊在希腊色萨利的法尔萨拉发现的黏土女性小雕像，它收藏于希腊沃洛斯的阿萨纳西基翁考古博物馆。这尊新石器时代的小雕像具有明显的女性肥胖特征，属于一类被讽刺地称为“维纳斯”的小雕像。文中描述了这尊小雕像，并提出了关于其制作原因和用途的推测。此外，还考虑了史前时期的历史和社会背景，试图评估古代女性肥胖的特征并将其与现代定义进行比较。
