The arms on the first statue are just wrong. They almost look like fingernails on thumbs.

Yup, the arms on the Venus of Willendorf (http://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1B3MOZA_en-GBUS337CA337&um=1&sa=1&q=venus+of+willendorf&btnG=Search+images&aq=f&oq=&start=0) are pretty messed up. So's the skullcap.

The original has significantly better composition than the representation above.

The representation above is a sketch for a cartoon. It's supposed to get a point across, not serve as a perfect replication.

Try seeing it as itty bitty arms resting on huge tittays.

(Sorry, no paleolithic icons... Hellenic piss-porn will have to substitute.)

...and absolutely noting is wrong with the second statue? spot on, anatomically?

It looks more like a model than a statue, but yeah, it has recognizably human features.
