The Venus of Monruz (also Venus of Neuchâtel, Venus of Neuchâtel-Monruz) is a
N5 highway, at Monruz in the municipality of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
.
The Venus figurines of Petersfels from a site near Engen, Germany, bear remarkable resemblance to the Venus of Monruz. Especially the biggest of them, called Venus from Engen[1] may have been done by the same artist. It is also made of jet, and also dates to[clarification needed] the Magdalenian - to ca. 15,000 years ago. The sites of discovery of the two figurines are about 130 km apart.
