mollusque commented on the word protopottery
These statuettes, which are distributed over a tremendous territory from Italy and France as far east as Siberia, are whimsically referred to as "Venus" figures by archaeologists. Some are carved from mammoth ivory; others are made of clay hardened by fire, the earliest known form of protopottery.
