Some of the figures are nude while others have etchings that seem to indicate fur or clothing. Conversely, unlike those found in Europe, some of the Venus figurines from Mal’ta were sculpted with faces. Most of the figurines were tapered at the bottom, and it is believed that this was done so they could have been stuck into the ground or placed upright some other way. Placed upright they could have symbolized the spirits of the dead, akin to "spirit dolls" used nearly world-wide, including Siberia, among contemporary people. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Style">Style</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Venus_figurines_of_Mal%27ta&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Style"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Venus_of_Malta_(Siberia,_RUssia),_cop,_076839.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Venus_of_Malta_%28Siberia%2C_RUssia%29%2C_cop%2C_076839.jpg/220px-Venus_of_Malta_%28Siberia%2C_RUssia%29%2C_cop%2C_076839.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="329" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Venus_of_Malta_%28Siberia%2C_RUssia%29%2C_cop%2C_076839.jpg/330px-Venus_of_Malta_%28Siberia%2C_RUssia%29%2C_cop%2C_076839.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Venus_of_Malta_%28Siberia%2C_RUssia%29%2C_cop%2C_076839.jpg/440px-Venus_of_Malta_%28Siberia%2C_RUssia%29%2C_cop%2C_076839.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1432" data-file-height="2144" /></a><figcaption>Another Venus of Mal'ta.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></figcaption></figure> <p>The suggested similarity between Mal'ta and Upper Paleolithic civilizations of Western and Eastern Europe coincides with a long-held belief that the ancient people of Mal'ta were related to the Paleolithic societies of Europe.<sup id="cite_ref-LAT_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LAT-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These similarities can be established by their tools, dwelling structures, and art.
