EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art - a reindeer horn intricately carved with depictions of deer and leaping salmon. Dating back to the Magdalenian period, approximately 15,000-18,000 BC, this artifact was discovered in the Grotte de Lortet cave. The craftsmanship exhibited on this small yet significant object is truly awe-inspiring. Measuring at just 14.2 cm in length, it demonstrates the skill and creativity of Paleolithic artists. The delicate carvings depict a procession of deer adorned with antlers, while salmon can be seen gracefully jumping between their legs. This artwork provides us with valuable insights into the lives and beliefs of our prehistoric ancestors. It serves as a testament to their deep connection with nature and their keen observation skills that allowed them to capture such intricate details on such an unconventional canvas. Currently housed at the Musee des Antiquites Nationales in St. Germain-en-Laye, France, this reindeer horn carving continues to captivate visitors from around the world. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it represents not only artistic expression but also offers glimpses into early human culture and spirituality. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are able to appreciate and marvel at the beauty and ingenuity displayed by our ancient ancestors over 10 millennia ago.
