How funny! I had always thought that the Venus was plump as a fertility and/or prosperity and plenty symbol. You don't suppose that the sculptor was inspired by a potato...surely not...
The sculpter couldn't have been inspired by a potato, as they are native only to North America.
As to the Ebay auction, you'd get more money if you said it was the Madonna and child, with the Madonna's head on the upper left, and the babe in arms on the right. Were there any miracles involved, like the mashed potatoes becoming smooth without adding milk? That would be worth an extra million!
