The body styles of both sculptures are vastly different. The Woman from Willendorf shows a faceless woman with exaggerated features of the breasts, hips, thighs, and legs.

Martha is extremely intelligent, graduating from Barnard College here in New York City with a double major in History and Architectural History, and Athena was considered high intelligent and very quick-witted.

The Ephod The Ephod was to be made of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. It had two shoulder pieces attached to its two edges so that it joined together.

On her head, which is made from a nut, she wears a welding mask with glasses below it. Nuts are usually used to fasten things together. The glasses are resting on her he nose, which is made with a spark plug. The eyes of the stature are gold and appear to be fishing weights.
