Prehistoric Art

The horse's head sculptured on a piece of reindeer horn, was found with relics of the rough stone age, in southern France.  The charging mammoth was engraved on an ivory tusk, also in southern France during the rough stone age; it is one of the most remarkable relics of its kind.  The stag hunt shown at the left is from a painting on the walls of a cavern in Spain, made in the polished stone age. The rough stone age is also called the Paleolithic, which means Old Stone Age.
