Description

The Bison is based on a carving made from reindeer antler roughly 14,000 years ago and discovered in 1863 in the Dordogne region of France. The carving was once known as The Wounded Bison, but archaeologists now believe the animal depicted is more likely to be grooming than injured.

In the first quarter of 2013 the British Museum had an exhibition called Ice Age Art, the arrival of the Modern Mind. This statuette was supplied to the British Museum for their shop as a specialist item for duration of this exhibition.

The Bison is approximately 6½ inches (16cm) tall and weighs approximately 400g.

Your Bison is one of 365 and comes with it's own certificate of authenticity.

Black Madonna sculpture

Images of the Black Madonna became popular in Europe in Medieval times. Their origins are often shrouded in myth and mystery, and they are usually associated with miraculous events.Their intentionally dark colouring may simply be intended to give a more accurate representation of a Middle Eastern woman, but there are many more esoteric explanations. The popularity of the image has been linked to the writings of Bernard of Clairvaux, the Knights Templar, various Gnostic groups, and the Cathars.I...

Swimming Reindeer sculpture

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 m...
