The Art of Ice Age Artists
Both male and female have full sets of antlers and coats in such wonderful condition. On the female's chest, the ribs and the sternum have been beautifully carved. This object was clearly made not just with the knowledge of a hunter, but also with the insigt of a butcher.

They still live by hunting and gathering, but they're interpreting the world through art.
