EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a meticulously crafted clay model of a bison, an iconic creature of the European prehistoric era, discovered in the remarkable cave of Le Tuc d'Audoubert located in the Dordogne region of France. The cave, renowned for its exceptional preservation and rich history, has yielded numerous archaeological finds, including this impressive bison model, dating back to the Magdalenian period, around 12,000 to 10,000 years ago. The bison, a large and powerful animal, was a vital source of food, clothing, and tools for our ancient ancestors. Its image was frequently depicted in their art, reflecting its significance in their culture and daily life. This clay model, with its intricate details and lifelike features, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the people who once inhabited this land. Le Tuc d'Audoubert, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most famous and best-preserved Magdalenian sites in Europe. The cave's unique microclimate has helped preserve the delicate art and artifacts, providing valuable insights into the lives of our prehistoric ancestors. The discovery of this bison model, along with other finds such as wall paintings and tools, has shed light on the daily life, art, and spiritual beliefs of the people who lived during the last Ice Age. This print not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that lies within the depths of Le Tuc d'Audoubert and the Dordogne region. The intricate details of the bison model, captured in this print, invite us to explore the fascinating world of our prehistoric past.
