Incised into a reindeer foot-bone probably some 15,000 years ago, this engraving represents two hinds. The realistic rendering of the drawing is amazing! Found in the Grotte de Chaffaud. It's the first finds of paleolithic mobile art, discovered in the 1830s. Photo: RMN-GP. Jean-Gilles Berizzi #archaeology
