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.

That is very significant.Arthur Machen - The White Pe...

This is my tribute to what remains one of the greatest works of art of all time.Venus is approximately 9 inches (23cm) tall and weighs approximately 500g.Your Venus is one of 345 and comes with it's own certificate of authenticity.

The Guardian sculpture

Lion-headed beings have been part of humanity’s myths and religions from the very earliest days. The oldest known depiction is over 32,000 years old and is probably the oldest surviving piece of sculpture.
