Description

The Swimming Reindeer was discovered in 1866 by Peccadeau de l’Isle while overseeing the construction of a railway line at Montastruc in southwestern France. It was carved from the tip of a mammoth tusk around 13,000 years ago and was discovered in two pieces. It wasn’t until 1905 that it was realised the two reindeer were part of one sculpture and were finally reunited.

My tribute to The Swimming Reindeer was originally created for the British Museum exhibition, Ice Age Art: arrival of the modern mind.

The Swimming Reindeer are approximately 9 inches (22.5cm) long and weigh approximately 600g.

Your Swimming Reindeer is one of 457 and comes with its own certificate of authenticity.

The oldest known depiction is over 32,000 years old and is probably the oldest surviving piece of sculpture. Echoes of that image have stayed with us and can be found in Babylon, in Egypt, in the religion of Mithras so popular in ancient Rome, and even in the lion-headed angel Ariel.The Guardian is approximately 12½ inches (31cm) tall and weighs approximately 1Kg.Your Guardian is one of 272 and co...
